The assumptions contained in your phrasing...I find them problematic.
"The sort of political correctness I have a problem with..." is one thing.
"Political correctness is usually..." (which is what I think you expressed) is maddening, and elicits the response I gave. It's not a problem of succinctness; it's a problem of premises.
The -ism isn't in use or disuse of blatantly -ist words. But the -ist words add a level of hurtfulness, and advocating their use...*personally* I find that hostile and hateful.
