That just means the right wingers fear political correctness, doesn't mean they don't oppose it ... |
The issue with political correctness is that it is a force of good and evil.
It is a force for Good as it tries to be mindful of other people's feelings when we say things especially to people that are different from us As a result it requires us to filter ourselves and be more mindful in what we say.
The evil side is that is also used by people who are extreme in thinking to shut down debate around issues that are dear to their hearts by throwing out labels and accusations of sexism, racism and others when someone simply disagrees with them.
The dangers of political correctness are perhaps best displayed over the issue of refugees. Most people want to help but don't want to be overwhelmed. However if anyone had any concerns over the refugee issue they were labelled a racist by the left. As a result this caused a huge backlash from far right movements.
