Surely some of you are missing the point
Being careful not to offend someone with what you say is just using common sense and good manners.
Political Correctness is slightly different in that it describes the way in which a minority of do-gooders dictate to everybody else what they think we should or shouldn't be allowed to say and because they claim to be representing a minority and use a big voice they get their own way.
So not calling someone a derogatory, racist name is common sense and good manners whereas stopping the use of the word blackboard is Political Correctness.
