[Mrs. Don-o]

As I understand it,"politically correct" originated in Maoist China and it meant "What the Chairman wants." Get with the Program or take very painful consequences.

They didn't use terms which could translate as "right" or "wrong," because they didn't want to imply that something could be objectively or metaphysically right (or good or true, etc.) The only relevant category --- and this could change by tomorrow --- was "what the Chairman wants."
