When I say PC I mean a set of things are taken off the table for discussion unless absolutely necessary, and when they are there for discussion it will be heavily moderated.

That you believe this is different from what i described demonstrates how warped your perspective is, and the mental gymnastics you must employ to reach that point.

PC culture is veiled beneath a thin shroud of good intentions. You can get away with almost anything as long as you champion yourself the protector of the weak and the downtrodden. But in doing so, advocates have singled out groups as weak, and in need of special protections. This creates an uneven playing field, with it's pits and mounds dug arbitrarily. Well, a rotten apple spoils the barrel, as the saying goes. Decades of affirmative action have forced even the most open minded of us to make considerations that would have been deemed absurd a generation ago. Is my coworker a diversity hire? She's a minority & and a women. Is she qualified, or did the company need to hire a Mexican to keep up appearances? My new primary care physician is black. Should i find a new doctor? How do i know he's competent when medical schools require weaker grades from them to be accepted & graduate? Should i find an Asian doctor instead? These scenarios would have been laughable just 20 years ago, but thanks to PC culture they are now a very frightening reality.

Now that that's quoted, please explain to me what affirmative action is.
