You say things in this code and people understand what you really mean, but they don't dare say it either.
Its a bit weird isn't it ?

Well, yeah, it is!
It's a true art to sound as politically correct as possible. But basically, you can't make a statement without assigning some kind of negative value to someone or a group. So being politically correct is the art of saying nothing meaningful with as many words as possible.

No, it's called being a civilized human being.
Rather than being rude by using insulting, demeaning, or degrading language, some people are polite and civil.
What's weird is all the people who refuse to act this way.

No, it is censure. You are suppose to tread lightly and not offend anyone with what you say.You can't call people dumb anymore, they are mentally challenged. You cannot call garbage men garbage men anymore, they are sanitation engineers. It is all a crock , that is what political correctness is.

Something similar was predicted by George Orwell. It was supposed to be called 'Newspeak'.
