The term: 'Political Correctness'

There’s said to be an annual contest at Griffith University, Queensland, calling for the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term.

The term this year: 'Political Correctness'

The winning student wrote:

Political correctness is a doctrine fostered by a delusional, illogical minority and rapidly promoted by mainstream media, holding forth the proposition that it is entirely possible to pick up a piece of shit by the clean end.

    Isn't that redundant?

  3. A brilliant definition, and *bang-on!*

We welcome thoughtful disagreement.
But we do (ir)regularly moderate comments -- and we *will* delete any with insulting or abusive language. Or if they're just inane or off topic. It’s okay to disagree, but pretend you’re having a drink in the living room with the person you’re disagreeing with. This includes me.
PS: Have the honesty and courage to use your real name. That gives added weight to any opinion.
