   Political Correctness- Dictionary.com

   1.demonstrating progressive ideals, esp by avoiding vocabulary that is considered offensive, discriminatory, or judgmental, esp concerning race and gender

OK.  I get it.

To be “politically correct” is to speak in a way that avoids insulting or offending others who are in a somewhat weaker positions.

That seems clear.

So I looked at some of the comments that people have claimed are being made in an effort to “avoid political correctness”.   (I put aside the intriguing question of why one would choose to be offensive or insulting…..)

Quote Number One:

“When these people walk in the room, they don’t say, ‘Oh, hello! How’s the weather? It’s so beautiful outside. Isn’t it lovely? How are the Yankees doing? Oh they’re doing wonderful. Great.’ [Asians] say, ‘We want deal!’”

Quote Number Two:

“The U.S. has become a dumping ground for everybody else’s problems. When Mexico sends its people, they’re not sending their best. They’re not sending you. They’re sending people that have lots of problems, and they’re bringing those problems with us. They’re bringing drugs. They’re bringing crime. They’re rapists. And some, I assume, are good people.” – June 16, 2015

Quote Number Three:

“You can be politically correct if you want, but are you trying to say we don’t have a problem? Most Muslims, like most everything, I mean, these are fabulous people. But we certainly do have a problem, I mean, you have a problem throughout the world. It wasn’t people from Sweden that blew up the World Trade Center.”  International Business Times

Quote Number Four: On opponent Fiorina:

“Look at that face! Would anyone vote for that?” Trump exclaimed in the magazine. “Can you imagine that, the face of our next president?! I mean, she’s a woman, and I’m not s’posedta say bad things, but really, folks, come on. Are we serious?”

OK.  I agree; this language is most certainly not politically correct.  However, I also found another definition for the speech from this man.  Below I have included a much more accurate and precise description of what I hear when I am forced to listen to him speak.
