Political correctness is the only concept that should be prevented from entering politics !
Because it deems topics incorrect due to their political appeal an that's seriously dangerous.
It also begs the question who deems topics to be correct enough, so not too sensitive or offending, to be debated ?
Are it the politicians, is it the media ? I really have lost track of who has the authority to police, without borders, what can publicly be talked about and debated and what not ? I do have my set of suspects though.
Isolated from the topics that you could choose to make an example, the idea of political correctness shouldn't exist and be thought at school as the propaganda tactic it is. I can't understand how anyone, who wants to live in a society build on open dialogue and exchange of ideas, can promote the concept that you can't talk about a certain topic just because it may hurt someones feelings.
I think the risk that we take in not openly addressing some issues because they make us feel weird or offended, is far bigger than the possible backlash you can get for expressing your opinion in a civilized manner although you're made to believe the opposite. I don't think people are that savage... although it looks more and more like it.
