Does it really matter if this is considered PC or not?
Well, I think so.
Just because someone does something to be “PC” doesn’t mean they are actually being “PC.” As with seemingly everything, people don’t understand that you can’t take the actions of a select few and think that they represent everyone else.
Just because some people misuse the PC concept doesn’t mean the PC concept is bad.
Who decides what is and isn’t PC? In my opinion, if someone is doing something to be “PC” then they are absolutely being “PC”, what you or anyone else deem to be actually “PC” don’t factor in to the equation at all.
