political correctness

Read a random definition: efficient breach theory

A quick definition of political correctness:

Political correctness is when people try to use language and actions that won't hurt anyone's feelings, especially when it comes to race or gender. It's like being careful not to say something mean or offensive. When someone follows this idea, we say they are being politically correct or PC for short.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Political correctness is the tendency to avoid using language or actions that might offend someone's political beliefs, especially in matters related to race or gender. It can also refer to conforming to this doctrine. It is often abbreviated as P.C. and politically correct is used as an adjective.

Example 1: Using the term "African American" instead of "black" is an example of political correctness.

Example 2: Referring to someone as "they" instead of "he" or "she" to avoid assuming their gender is another example of political correctness.

Example 3: Avoiding jokes or comments that could be seen as sexist or racist is also an example of political correctness.

These examples illustrate how political correctness involves being mindful of how language and actions can affect others and making an effort to avoid offending them. It is about being respectful and inclusive towards people of different backgrounds and beliefs.

I wish I knew where my app was in the process of the schools I’ve applied to. Is it just sitting there in the queue? Has someone read it? Have they debated my candidacy in committee? Are they holding off on an R email, or am I actually in the game?

Idk if its cus I got passed over last year but I have like 0 desire to pray for these schools to get A's out. Honestly, I would rather just every school release all at once in January or something.
i wish all schools did what harvard does and have set dates
even for things like II
