"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.

Politically Correct was a self invented phrase by the political left, who first enforced its authoritarian strictures on their own crowd. As with any other such movement they like to justify their intolerance of contrary opinion, and insulting their targets is certainly one technique they use. One of the great ironies is that PC flourishes in the academic world, prosecuting 'criminals' who violate the PC moral code of permitted speech or permitted ideas. It's Orwell all right, and Big Brother is enforcing the PC code when he can.
