It's funny how we've made this term and completely vilified it. Isolated incidents where it goes too far absolutely should not overshadow how necessary "political correctness" is in so many ways. I sometimes get the impression that a good number of people just bash it because it's now socially unacceptable for them to be pricks to others.
And the context of RGIII's quote isn't exactly helping matters.
Can we end this notion that Wikipedia is not a reliable source? This isn't the same Wikipedia as when it was created. Bad reputations just never seem to go away for poor wiki.

Let's just say that there are always a bunch of Cherokee folks at my family reunions.
You know how these conversations go with the Washington Area Football Team?
Native Americans: Your mascot is offensive and hurtful to us.
Football team: We're not trying to hurt you; we're trying to honor you.
Native Americans: We're not honored. We're offended.
Football team: Shut up.
Imagine if there were an NFL team called the Detroit Darkies. How do you think that would fly?
