What is "political correctness"

Political correctness refers to a fair attitude, avoiding using words that offend and discriminate against the disadvantaged groups in society, or implementing political measures that discriminate against the disadvantaged groups. If you can't offend different races, genders, sexual orientations, physical and mental barriers and religions, you can't suppress discrimination or dissatisfaction caused by different political views.

Common disputes include women, different sexual orientations, religious beliefs, dissidents, and ethnic minorities (including ethnic groups divided by nationality, religion, and color, compared with the major ethnic groups in China).
