Politically correct, PC

Apparue dans les années 1980, la notion de ‘politiquement correct’ désigne les comportements et formes d'expression qui ne trahissent aucun préjugé sexuel, raciste ou xénophobe afin de ne choquer personne. Si certains changements de formulation rétablissent une vérité historique (African American plutôt que Black, ou Native American plutôt que Indian), certains euphémismes semblent excessifs, par exemple involuntarily leisured pour exprimer unemployed.
