It might have been created then but it wasnt used by anyone else until the 60s and 70's

>political correctness... you can hardly keep up with it

it has nothing to do with political correctness. it just has to do with being accutate. I dont want no one calling me something Im not. I think most people can agree on that. whenever white people start talking about race the term "political correctness" just pops out of their mouth so they dont have to deal with talking about race becuase it totally undermines their power in society. If you don't understand something its easier to dismiss it as being "politically correct."
