Political Correctness

A classic example of dogmatic reductionism is the 'political correctness' approach to the relationship between language and discrimination.

Simply banning certain words without any explanation or more sophisticated understanding of how language works is a woefully inadequate response to the challenge of tackling discriminatory forms of language.

Simply telling people what they can or cannot say is more likely to alienate them than to enlighten them.

What is called for is a much more sophisticated understanding of the issues involved, a greater sensitivity to how language works and how it can contribute to (or challenge) discrimination.
