Strongly disagree. (So strongly that I don't have enough words to express my vitriol toward the concept, and rely on words of calm and reason.)
Allowing expression in the name of "not being PC" defangs the entire structure of being able to confront the problem of -ism from its roots.
It puts the disprivileged in the position of swallowing the -ism "unless it's bad enough".
And "bad enough" tends to be a standard that becomes harder and harder to meet as one grasps for proof that it *is* -ism and not just some random ass being a random ass, such that the only thing one can complain about is if someone is dead and the body is marked in large clear letters with "I KILLED THIS PERSON BECAUSE THEY WERE $category".

I do not think this is what you intend.
