On the face of it, it does sound daft. Let's see what the outcome of it is.
Ah, political correctness. It's always such a shame that people slag it off without actually thinking about what it means and why it's there. As with 'human rights', it's a good thing. Think about the words, about what it's goal is. How can it not be?
Problems arise when it's applied wrongly. Sadly, people don't make a distinction between 'political correctness' and 'political correctness gone mad'. Which is like slaggging off the entire concept of football refereeing because a ref has a bad game.
