Subject:Political Correctness-OED def. From:douglas_thayer <douglas_thayer -at- SMTPLINK -dot- SYSCOM -dot- COM -dot- TW> Date:Tue, 6 Jun 1995 10:43:04 LCL
From the China Post, June 5, 1995:
"The Concise OED defines PC as 'the avoidance of forms of expression
that exclude, marginalize, or insult racial or cultural minorities.'"
By my reading, this means that someone who is actively "POLITICALLY INCORRECT"
makes a habit of excluding, marginalizing, or insulting others. I fail to see
how anybody could take pride in such behavior. But then, I never could
understand conservative Christians.

Which reminds me...I've *GOT* to get one of those buttons that says, in
bold white on red letters: POLITICALLY INCORRECT (I'm a conservative
Christian--definitely politically incorrect!)
