It's still very much an uphill
battle, but
even the minuscule time period of the last 100 years has seen
dramatic changes in society's acceptance of more «modest» antisocial behaviors (racism, bigotry, bullying etc.) What is now coined «Political Correctness» is really just the fine - tuning of previously - accepted social norms.
At its worst, the system would either grind down or strengthen the resolve of individuals, resulting epic
battles or
even dramatic capitulations in cases where simple conversation might have spared significant time and expense.
