It means showing due respect to any race, creed, colour. Not using any terms that could be considered discrimatory. There are various shades of grey in this equation. And being well-educated in them and the language they are derived from is also of great help. eg. If you use the term "*********", make sure it is used in the correct context, and if written be sure it is spelled correctly as well as being correct in the right context. "*********" has a completely different connotation than that of "Niggerdly". In fact, the latter doesn't even exist, except amongst the racist.

A statement where the words are carefully chosen so as to be sure no one will be offended. It is not always an easy thing to do.

To be politically correct, you just need to make sure you dont offend anyone. Just make sure you dont say anything negative about a person's race, religion, or anything that could offend someone.

its a term thought up by liberal democrats to make sure everyone likes what they are saying, its also something that should be ignored if you value your right to free speech..
