Sigh.

Your definition is not accepted by everyone.I've explained why and how I'm using it.

Is this really the important thing?

Ok then.

So it's "over sensitive and spurious complaints of discrimination and/or racism but emphatically not by a state or authority group, which is likely to harm rather than help community relations" gone mad. OSASCODAORBENBASOAGWILTHRTHCR gone mad for short.

I thought most people would understand what PC meant, and definitely would after I explained it, but I guess not.

Incidentally....
PC definition and meaning | Collins English Dictionary
If you say that someone is PC, you mean that they are extremely carefulnot to offend or upset any group of people in society who have a disadvantage. PC is an abbreviation for 'politically correct'.

You will have to write to all the dictionaries to tell them they've got it wrong too.

He probably will.

He's certainly got the time.

It will be the gorilla chanting that pushed this into a complaint, can’t really say its them from videos online but its line with their clapping as they stand up in the bobsleigh.

No, it will just be some middle class liberal Guardian reader with nothing better to do that pushed this into a complaint.

The article made no mention of this.

It says the racism complaints were due to their outfits.

Whataboutery from the whatabouteryfinder general?

However, not the same thing

Absolutely no whataboutery. Post is on exactly the same issue of white people blacking up at a carnival/festival, and whether such blacking up is offensive/racist. We have also seen the same in Cornwall:

And on that very point, a further example of the PC loonies in action:

People are outraged over the British Army's 'racist' social media post

Jezza99 Publish time 26-11-2019 02:52:53

Parodying black people with face paint is not the same as disguising/camouflaging yourself. That army camo tweet story is a non-story, a twitterstorm of faux outrage followed by much ridicule of that idiotic outrage. But 'blackface' in 2017 is sheer ignorance. So yes, whataboutery.
