"Political Correctness" is a term that is used by the far right, mostly so they can undermine an argument and disregard it completely by simply using that term to attack the individual/outlet instead to sidestep the argument completely.

Political Correctness is about trying to avoid offense or disadvantage to various demographics, that's not a bad thing in moderation, we should all strive for  equality and equity and all that.

Political correctness almost certainly comes at the expense of free propogation of information and by extension free speech of speech ...

I know too many facts that quite a few people would fine offensive. Sometimes bigotry is the truth ... 

I agree with you that we're supposed to express things in moderation but i don't think we can strive for equality in the near future but we could make a good attempt at equity ... 

Freedom of speech has never allowed you to state whatever you desired anyway, because you have other freedoms and law protections that prevent that.

I can't go around and say that you have Chlamydia and preach that I am expressing my freedom to speech, because what I am doing there is making a false claim which is libel and can be prosecuted under the law.

You can have Political Correctness and Freedom of Speech, provided you don't cross a line.

Equity is probably what comes after equality. This graphic is probably a good example of what that is.
