See, my problem with political correctness is that I find it often is trying to hide an -ism. I'd rather have the -ism out there than shrouded by political correctness. I'd rather them be bold enough in their -ism to state it in plain terms instead of couching in different words.

Because my problem is that being PC makes it harder to separate those that *do* actually care, and are trying to fight against the -isms, with those that realize they can still be an -ist and now get away with it. Especially amongst a crowd of hipsters, who sometimes say -ist things and want it to be taken ironically......

However, I do agree that folks that don't want to bother with being PC are indeed stating they don't want their privilege pointed out to them. (and when I say "them" I also mean "me")
