@o_guest@AstroKatie where in here does it say that? The article doesn't seem to draw concrete conclusions on origin? -
@YellowSphere@AstroKatie Top of page 9, but either way this has some perhaps more accessible and concrete claims: http://s-usih.org/2015/02/politically-correct-a-history-part-i.html … -
@YellowSphere I am referring to it starting out not meaning what it does now = usually a reactionary term to describe speaking respectfully. -
@o_guest ah ok, I see what you mean. Though that section talking about the concept of "correct opinions" rather than PC as a phrase? -
@o_guest still though, it's hardly a new phenomenon for terms like this to end up meaning wildly different things, even over a short period. -
@o_guest haven't read other link yet, but was going to posit anyway that the "reclamation" of PC as a term perhaps a more recent thing?
