I have always lacked my fair share of
political correctness, mainly because it defies logic and common
sense. Here are a few passages I have come across that describe
it rather well.
The 2007 winning entry
from an annual contest at Texas A&M University calling for
the most appropriate definition of a contemporary term
'Political Correctness'. The winner wrote: "Political
Correctness is a doctrine, fostered by a delusional, illogical
minority, and rabidly promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream
media, which holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end."
“No one should ever
underestimate the stupidity induced in bureaucrats by the
procedures they are enjoined to follow.”
"The perverse incentives that bureaucrats are often given
nowadays are also worth a mention. On the false grounds that it
is better to measure something than to measure nothing, the work
of a bureaucracy (and therefore bureaucrats) is judged by some
target or other plucked from the ether of political vacuity by
their bosses."
