Politically correct: adjective
From Kerby Anderson of PROBE Ministries in 2000 "U.S. News and World Report columnist John Leo occasionally collects examples of politically correct silliness. Today I thought I would share a few of his examples of our cultural craziness."
Censored Cartoons – What Stereotypes are Politically Correct? "....[This short film] was one of a series of silly looks at the future (or actually a satirical look at the present), looking at farms, homes and televisions as well. Retro future is always fun. Some people take it too seriously though.
Politically Correct silliness, the 50 words you can't use in school
“ 'Condom” passed muster. Because, after all, the schools pass them
out like candy. Also A-OK: “homosexual.” I believe there’s mandatory
class participation involved with that one. Sex-ed starts in Kindergarten;
but discussions of hunting might be too controversial?
"Religion is off-limits. So you can’t mention religious holidays, such as
Christmas, Yom Kippur, and Ramadan. But made-up holidays like Kwanzaa seem to be admissible."
The silliness of Political Correctness "Yes, that’s right, the term “black hole” is racist, just as angel food cake, black sheep, and anything else that has the words white or black used in it.

The Odyssey of Tom and Jerry cartoons I do very much regret the shameful way African-Americans were treated in the old movies and wish they had been shown as they should have been. But I hope the old cartoons will not be lost to us out of sheer, ever-changing cultural standards. PC is becoming too much like the Chinese Communist Cultural Revolution and one only needs to remove the word "Mao", replacing it with the word "progressive". .
