I think political correctness is a good concept that protects minorities from verbal attacks, harassment, and it overall makes the country a much easier for people like LGBT persons to go on with their daily life without having lunatics scream insults at us.

It might seem like you are being silenced unnecessarily, but usually it only takes common sense and politeness to what should and should not be said. I respect Freedom of Speech, but for example things like the N-word are not acceptable and do not come under that.

I think a lot of far-right lunatics also mistake political correctness with the established political consensus on how we treat minorities, and usually they use 'pc' as an excuse to fake outrage that they cannot go around chanting threats anymore.
