I dont mind PC so much but euphemisms tend to disturb me.

It's called being considerate. I usually find that the ones that tend to get annoyed about political correctness are members of the majority and don't deal with those terms on a regular basis anyway.

I support it, but it's gone too far.

I don't necessarily agree with political correctness i just think it's important to check you're privilege when it comes to certain things and not use oppressive language like racial/sexist/transpho bic slurs etc.

Certain things are just plain about respect, some things have gone too far. Too far to the point that the group that's being referred to says it's too far.

It can definitely be a bit much.

I think it has gone way too far. One big problem with political correctness is that it just feeds into the "euphemism treadmill" by which what was once a correct, non-offensive term becomes offensive through perjorative use. For example, moron, idiot, and imbecile used to be the correct words for various severities of intellectual disability. People started using these as insults, so mentally retarded became the friendly term. Now retard is an unacceptable insult, and the term is intellectually or mentally disabled. No matter what inoffensive term we come up with, we will eventually need another.

In general, I just try to use terms that are least offensive, without being ridiculously over sensitive. And I really hate "African American." I can't think of a single black person I know who would rather be called African American than black. Plus, it is rather non-inclusive for people from other places like the carribean. Come to think of it, there are light skinned people from Africa as well. Would that make those of white South African descent African American as well?

The one form of political correctness I can truly get behind is the person-first movement. You don't call someone with autism autistic, they are a person with autism. Person with diabetes instead of a diabetic. The point is to word things so as to not make a disability or condition a defining quality of someone.

I've met some people of Native American heritage who say they prefer Indian, because it was an honest mistake (Columbus thought he was in India), and Native American defines them too much by America. So you never know.

I am for being respectful and polite, since everyone deserves to be treated with dignity, but the circular language to avoid stepping on any possible toes gets more offensive, I think. It's basically saying "You are so delicate and fragile that you must be described in special terms, lest your extra-sensitive feelings get hurt". And it leads to confusion for some people, like some young people I've known who had no idea what to call a black person who wasn't from America... or literal African-Americans (immigrants from Africa to America) who got into all kinds of hassles because they weren't black.

So... the non-rambly answer, just be respectful and polite, and treat people the way you would want to be treated. If that includes adding a ton of appellations to their description, okay, but I'm going to continue calling a janitor a janitor, not a waste removal technician.

I don't care about politics.

I hate the use of the term "political correctness" because it's usually used to express resentment over the negative reaction to someone's problematic (racist, sexist, homophobic, transphobic) behavior. There's no such thing as too much respect and decency, and I don't see why you would complain about "too much" political correctness unless you really wanted to be insensitive and inconsiderate without any backlash.
