Today, in this era it seems that everything falls under being either PC or politically incorrect. But people have very different ideas of what politically correct means. Politically correct means to be careful with language or gestures that are insulting or offensive towards a specific group of people. It is a powerful form of censorship, although, sometimes I think people can take the term "PC" overboard.

Now I feel like more and more things are becoming politically incorrect, can people be too politically correct? According to urban dictionary some people interpret it as, "A way that we speak in America so we don't offend whining pussies." I do not agree with how Trump is so extremely politically incorrect but it is the small things. I believe often times being politically incorrect causes unnecessary drama and stress. People tend to take things so personally even when it is not even about them. On college campuses, Chris Rock says that he no longer plays college campuses because the audiences are too "conservative" not in their political views but their social views and their unwillingness to offend anybody. Not in all situations but when one actually points out the political incorrectness it makes it seem that much more incorrect. "It's racist, that's sexist, that's prejudice" the line of what is politically correct keep creeping in closer and closer.
