may seem exaggerated or overestimate as the politically correct, to the point of discussing this at a seminar, even if non-academic, but I think it had its validity, for sure.
have once said: "Political correctness is stupid ass." Ah, but Guilherme Fiuza already said something similar recently. He said: "Political correctness is intellectually stupid." It is perhaps the best.
Well, when I threw my book at the end of last year, did an interview for publication in the State Mail, reporter Oscar Rocha was able to draw well and put my thoughts on the matter, so much I'll enjoy it now:
What subjects as Indians, punk, agrarian issues, human rights and the environment have in common? The vet and writer Augusto Araujo, who launches today at 19:30 in the Auditorium of the ACP - September 7th Street, 693 -, the book "Breaking the chains" (Life Publishing), knows the specifics of each subject, but notes now we all suffer distortions, mainly from superficial assessments, when made by the politically correct that bias, he said, can be translated as a kind of "socialism with shame."

Yes, it is actually a "disguised socialism."
whole communist ideology has always been fraught with noble intentions. When the communists burned the movie, who was not as radical began using the word "socialism" knowing there would be this as socialism. What more was filtered and state interventionism that has failed the earthly paradise.
What was the output then? Leave aside the labels and just proclaim intentions. "We stand for a better world and to correct the injustices of the world." Now, nobody will be against social justice, against the poor, against nature, against the oppressed minorities, blacks, Indian, etc..
But as intellectual heirs of the left (using a term of Reinaldo Azevedo), the politically correct intentions, in practice, end up having an deleterious effects. This is seen in a social (poor or rich), race (blacks, whites and Indians) and even stronger on environmental issues lately. Do
insight into something politically correct, and that is beneficial (not to throw garbage on the streets for example), and a politically correct that it is just a disguised socialism (indigenous issues and maroon, or public security policies) is not so easy. Both the journalist Leandro Narloch said it was a farce, after all he was very correct, like the traffic laws, smoke-free law, etc.. Well, that is another matter.
But that political correctness has become a trench of liberals ashamed, oh it has become. And the big problem with this is simple when it comes out of the debate and becomes part of public policy. There is a loss for sure.
