I'm curious, Jayne, what political correctness do you consider to be nonsense? Most of it makes perfect sense to me, and I generally find that the charge of "political correctness" is just the last resort of someone who can't think of another way to defend himself from the charge of being unkind or discriminatory. That's certainly the case in politics in the US today, where several of the Republican candidates on the far right complain that the problem with America today is political correctness. That's what Trump says when he defends his plan to bar all Muslims from entering the country.
