You quoted it yourself. 😹

 "especially if they belong to a group that's often discriminated against or is in some way at a disadvantage"

No progressive would accuse a white male of those things even in South Africa. *shrugs

You're being intellectual dishonest if you take it beyond this point as in saying that it's not true because I didn't show a source. Anyone in the states knows this as a fact and if they say different, they're lying. PC only pertains to some people. It has nothing to do with being polite to everyone.

You seem to have confused the words "only" and "especially".  

"only" is an exclusionary term, that specifies a specific group excludes all other groups.  

"especially" is an inclusionary term, that even when used to specify a specific group, still includes all other groups.  

 

@bold: I'd accuse anybody of anything that they've done.  If a black person is being racist, I call it out.  If a white person is being racist, I call it out.  

If a male is being misogynist, I call it out.  If a female is being misandrist, I call it out.  

Reality doesn't care about semantics. In practice, that's how pc is regardless of how you think of it or you act as a person. You're the outlier in this. It's one of the reasons why a noticeable amount of lefties are condemning pc culture and/or disassociate themselves from certain labels. You can be the most polite person in the world to everyone and not be politically correct or progressive.
