How exactly did you decide that “’P.C. culture’ isn’t actually a thing”? I don’t even know what that means. Political correctness undoubtedly exists, and it goes much further than avoiding “saying blatantly racist things.” The entire idea of trigger warnings, the idea that students at Emory could be traumatized by chalk scrawlings in support of Donald Trump, the idea that students at Yale were up in arms about the fact that a university official sent a pretty innocuous e-mail that challenged the paternalistic notion that students need to be told what costumes to wear for Halloween, the idea that at Harvard Law School, the law school’s symbolic shield/coat of arms was recently changed merely because, though inoffensive on its face, someone discovered it was based on a kind of family crest of an obscure guy who gave money to found the law school but who happened to own slaves, as many people did back when he was alive (even though he wasn’t some vocal proponent of slavery or anything like that), the idea that students at Stanford recently issued a demand that Stanford’s next president be non-white and either female or trans-gendered, the idea that people like Donald Sterling or Hulk Hogan could lose their livelihoods over things they said in secretly taped private conversations never meant for the public’s ears, the idea that everything from the Academy Awards to literature curricula need to be “representative” of every major racial group, as opposed to simply reflecting whatever is the best of its kind, and so on and so on. This is not just avoiding saying blatantly racist things. It’s an entire culture, similar to McCarthyism in the 50s, that imposes significant restrictions on what people can say or think and judges people based primarily on where they stand in a P.C. hierarchy, with white male heterosexual cis-gendered Christians being at the bottom and the most “victimized” groups being at the top. Sociologists have even published papers in respected journals about how this marks the transition from a dignity-based culture (which emerged from an earlier honor-based culture) to a victimhood culture, all of which you can read about more here, if you’re interested: http://righteousmind.com/where-microaggressions-really-come-from/. So, before you make ignorant pronouncements denying that P.C. culture exists and calling everyone who sees it coalescing all around them a racist, I suggest you do a bit more reading and reflection. I wouldn’t be against a culture that deploys the mechanisms of public censure against those who make blatantly offensive statements, but that’s definitely not all P.C. culture is about.
