What is politically correct?

'PC' is often used as a disparaging term to dismiss thoughts /ideas that people consider left wing / liberal! Though I bet there are some GNs out there can give me an example of when something has been dismissed as 'PC' but is more to the right of politics!

I worked with a very mobile blind guy who really objected to the term visually handicapped, which was in PC vogue at the time and much preferred to be refereed to as blind.
