The term political correctness was embraced by the left. The left constantly tells people that something isn't politically correct so change your views.

1970s[edit]
In the 1970s, the
New Left began using the term "politically correct."
[30] In the essay
The Black Woman: An Anthology (1970), Toni Cade Bambara said that "a man cannot be politically correct and a
[male] chauvinist, too." Thereafter, the term was often used as self-critical
satire. Debra L. Shultz said that "throughout the 1970s and 1980s, the New Left,
feminists, and
progressives... used their term 'politically correct' ironically, as a guard against their own orthodoxy in social change efforts."
[4][30][31] As such, PC is a popular usage in the comic book
Merton of the Movement, by
Bobby London, which then was followed by the term
ideologically sound, in the comic strips of
Bart Dickon.
[30][32] In her essay "Toward a feminist Revolution" (1992)
Ellen Willis said: "In the early eighties, when feminists used the term 'political correctness', it was used to refer sarcastically to the
anti-pornography movement's efforts to define a 'feminist sexuality.'"
[33]
Stuart Hall suggests one way in which the original use of the term may have developed into the modern one:
According to one version, political correctness actually began as an in-joke on the left: radical students on American campuses acting out an ironic replay of the Bad Old Days BS (Before the Sixties) when every revolutionary groupuscule had a party line about everything. They would address some glaring examples of sexist or racist behaviour by their fellow students in imitation of the tone of voice of the Red Guards or Cultural Revolution Commissar: "Not very 'politically correct', Comrade!"
