"PC"? More Orwell-Speak.

You usually are more precise with your use of language.

In what sense is it "politically correct" to recognize that other cultures have different customs, and to try to accommodate them into that which we call "mainstream"?

It's more honest to call the old way of forcing other cultures into "one size fits all" "political correctness" -- after all, you're "correcting" them to fit the politics of the majority.

"Politically correct" is a sneer, invented by good old boys who are pissed that they can't call blacks "jigaboos" and working women "gals" anymore.
