I'm not always politically correct
Most of the time, "politically correct" means being
respectful to others, except the speaker intends to indicate
that that is a bad thing.
Political correctness tries to censor the free expression of
thoughts and has nothing to do with being respectful or not.
Being politically correct means to censor one's own thoughts
out of fear of being told off.
This is your line of objection when I asked you to be
respectful toward people who might want to learn D.
Normal people are polite and respectful out of common human
decency. Does this sometimes mean not uttering everything that
passes through your head? Of course. But the motivation comes
from wanting to work well with others and even from caring
about other people. Not fear of being told off.
Does this not work for you?
