Political correctness is anti-empathetic because it has correctness in it. We all have biases, we all have prejudices and if we cant talk about them openly - if we get attacked for it then this is an anti-empathetic movement and therefore it cannot complain about a lack of empathy.
Political correctness is what right-wing bigots call what everybody else calls being polite
How you treat the quiet, shy types is the most important. If you leave them to sit in a corner, they will be noticed, and it will affect everyone's time. I instantly spring on them and treat them as royalty, showing them around and introducing them to everyone so they seem special.
I believe that in the end that it is kindness and accommodation that are all the catalysts for real change.
Political correctness is a concept invented by hard-rightwing forces to defend their right to be racist, to treat women in a degrading way and to be truly vile about gay people. They invent this idea of people who are politically correct, with a rigid, monstrous attitude to life so they can attack. But we have all had to learn to modify our language. That's all part of being a decent human being.
There are a lot of groups that feel a little bit strange around me, because I am inclusive.
Be kind to everyone, and don't leave yourself out of the equation.
Personally, I really hope I can treat everyone equally. I think I have done a pretty good job so far but I know I can do it better.
We must win the common people in every corner. This will be obtained chiefly by means of the schools, and by open, hearty behavior, show, condescension, popularity, and toleration of their prejudices, which we shall at leisure root out and dispel.
Alex kneels down to Shelley's level. The simple act of respect tears at something suspiciously like my heart. Colin always ignores my sister, treating her as if she's blind and deaf as well as physically and mentally disabled.
You accept whoever you are interacting with, directly, or indirectly.
I have no problem with how people communicate. But I think it's important... for everyone to be open to learn sign language.
Tolerance, a term which we sometimes use in place of the words respect, mercy, generosity, or forbearance, is the most essential element of moral systems; it is a very important source of spiritual discipline and a celestial virtue of perfected people.
I applaud anyone who thinks I'm good-looking and invite them into my world.
In my day everything wasn't so PC.
In my family, I'm the middle of three, and I'm like a lot of middle children. I was one of those kids that floated from group to group. I liked being able to be included in all the groups - the bad kids, the smart kids.
It is nothing won to admit men with an open door, and to receive them with a shut and reserved countenance.
Genuine tolerance does not mean ignoring differences as if differences made no difference. Genuine tolerance means engaging differences within a bond of civility and respect.
I understand that I may make mistakes with characters who don't share my own background, but I commit to doing my best.
I am not a clique-y person.
The whole politically correct movement, if it - if that's what it is, was spawned by liberals. So I try to avoid categorizing myself.
It bothers me a lot that you want to broadcast that you're associating with black people.
