Funny how the term PC has evolved over the years from the dilemma faced by American politicians in the 1980s on whether they should vote according to their conscience or along party lines, to the modern usage in the context of the quote as a defence or justification for bad behaviour particularly in the discussion of free speech.
It seems these days the right to being offensive is more important than the offence itself.
Trump clearly exploited this attitude during the election campaign by his attacks on minority groups, mocking disabled people, his attitude towards women regarding their looks etc.
The sad aspect is that there seems to be a sizeable percentage of individuals who think that disrespect to others is a positive attribute.
