Definition
- Political correctness, politically correct, and PC are terms used to refer to language that seems intended to give the least amount of offense, especially when describing groups identified by external markers such as race, gender, culture, or sexual orientation. The concept has been discussed, disputed, criticized, and satirized by commentators from the conservative, liberal, and moderate camps.
