No, that's not true.

Maybe you meant that is not what you are seeking in this thread.

"Politically correct" is a teasing term coined by leftists to describe the more comical efforts of progressive people to act in line with leftist principles. It's ok to offend people if you offend them for the correct reasons. I assumed everyone was familiar with the term, but I gave a few examples of what I meant. I suppose this is something peculiar to India like "kerchief" and "my bad" - things that doesnt make sense outside the sub-continent. (probably outdated in rest of world.)

For the rest of the world, "politically correct" means exactly what I have said.
