Political Correctness as a Hack

One part: who suffers the most from PC culture?
The biggest day-to-day losers from the political correctness movement are other left-of-center people, most of all white moderate Democrats, especially those in universities. If you really believe that “the PC stuff” is irrational and out of control and making institutions dysfunctional, and that universities are full of left-of-center people, well who is going to suffer most of the costs? It will be people in the universities, and in unjust and indiscriminate fashion. That means more liberals than conservatives, if only because the latter are relatively scarce on the ground.
In other words, me. Which is why I'm so vocal about it.

Another Marginal Revolution tidbit: white liberals now to the left of blacks on some racial issues.  Does that suggest white liberal feelings on these matters might be more self hatred than an actual desire to help oppressed people?
