Jen SorensenLatest comic on the ever-expanding meaning of the insult "PC"
Bluebabbler@jensorensen To be honest, I’ve never got what’s so wrong with ‘political correctness’.
P_______X@bluebabbler @jensorensen I'm a bit young to have seen the full (d)evolution of the term "PC", but I just consider it another word for "polite".
Being considerate and understanding that careless statements may (adversely) impact ppl outside a present context is exactly what my parents taught me as being polite.
OTOH, the use of "woke" is plain racist. They turned the term into exactly what it's warned about: racism can come from unexpected angles that hits hard if one's not vigilant.

I thought "woke" was yet another version of "PC" — politeness. How does it become racist?
@PatternChaser @bluebabbler @jensorensen wikipedia:
"Woke is an adjective derived from African-American English used since the 1930s or earlier to refer to awareness of racial prejudice and discrimination, often in the construction stay woke."
Do I need to explain further?

It's weird to see people like Hegseth expand woke to mean anything legal or moral.
Goodness itself is the sin, now.
@Phosphenes @PatternChaser @bluebabbler @jensorensen
ironically, woke is literally the opposite of stupid.

No, you don't. Thank you. 👍 😀
