Study shows that nearly ALL Americans hate political correctness â€“ except rich, white liberals

(National Sentinel)Â Anti-PC: The concept of politically correct speech is a construct of the Left, but it is something that the vast majority of Americans absolutely loathe, according to a new study.

Academics Stephen Hawkins, Daniel Yudkin, Miriam Juan-Torres, and Tim Dixon argue in their paper, â€œHidden Tribes: A Study of Americaâ€™s Polarized Landscape,â€ that despite what we see on social media and on the cable news channels, most Americans donâ€™t fit neatly into what many view as typical Left-Right categories,Â The AtlanticÂ reports.

Not only that, but the researchers also found that most Americans share much more common ideals than it would seem on social media.

The most common concerns among those involved in the study were that, because of PC â€˜rules,â€™ people are far less able to express themselves as they want to, but feel they have to be careful, as theyâ€™re â€˜requiredâ€™ to. The survey did not specifically define political correctness, however, so there wasnâ€™t any agreement on a certain definition.

That said, as to Americansâ€™ aversion to PC,Â The AtlanticÂ reported:

According to the report, 25 percent of Americans are traditional or devoted conservatives, and their views are far outside the American mainstream. Some 8 percent of Americans are progressive activists, and their views are even less typical. By contrast, the two-thirds of Americans who donâ€™t belong to either extreme constitute an â€œexhausted majority.â€ Their members â€œshare a sense of fatigue with our polarized national conversation, a willingness to be flexible in their political viewpoints, and a lack of voice in the national conversation.â€

The academics note specifically that most of the â€œexhausted majorityâ€ â€” and more â€” are no fans of political correctness. In fact, among the American people, a whopping 80 percent believe that â€œpolitical correctness is a problem in our country.â€

Whatâ€™s more, even younger Americans who you might think are well schooled in PC thought (as in, propagandized) are not supportive of it, either. Of Americans 24-29, nearly three-quarters â€“ 74 percent â€“ donâ€™t like political correctness, while that figure rises to 79 percent for those under 24.

â€œOn this particular issue,â€Â The AtlanticÂ notes, â€œthe woke are in a clear minority acrossÂ allÂ ages.â€
