I regard "politically correct" as no more than an insult used in an attempt to delegitimise somebody else's position. In my opinion, it says far more about the people who use it, than those to whom they're attempting to attach the label. Use of the term is very frequently associated, as in this case, with asserting the privilege of deciding what is a "triviality", and feeling entitled to assign other people's concerns to that category. Pained demands to be given the benefit of the doubt, rather than taking responsibility for what is actually said, are another very common feature.

Edited into oblivion because, as noted below the "playing the game" argument/discussion is rapidly getting off topic.

Okay, I'm a bit lost - how does "game playing" fit in with the fact that Padma's clueless and Elliot is Mr. Timid when it comes to romance? I'm getting more of a "two ships passing in the night" vibe than I am that Padma's playing a game.

I think it's just the forums floating off topic. Again. :)
