Spend any amount of time on the internet, and you’ll see the term political correctness. It’s part of the common lexicon, but seems rather vague in its meaning. We know it's supposed to mean something that’s bad. Donald Trump and South Park don’t like it, and it has a vaguely 90’s sound to it. As when most things seem to come out of nowhere, the term political correctness has a history, and you know what we do here at Step Back with history.
