A silly premise which you have completely failed to support. There's nothing inherently evil or mindless with hewing to social norms; the nature of the norm is key. Political correctness may be annoying at times in its practice but its goals are healthy, and all too often resistance to it is rooted in privilege and prejudice. I think that this over the top reaction (evil is a very strong term) should be a cue for some self examination. Why exactly DO you resent attempts to extend respectful treatment to historically oppressed people so much?
