SPICS AND THEIR POLITICAL CORRECTNESS

It was coined by a person or thinktank whose cynicism and critique of certain kinds of issues and discussants revealed his/her/their inability to see beyond the trend or the comfort of the generalization -the phrase or word-coin- without having to consider the details, the others.  Or was it on purpose? To railroad language?   

"Do not use the word spics even if you see yourself as one in my house, and if you cannot stop yourself from being linguistically aggressive for the sake of fighting fascism in language use, then get the fuck off and leave." 

It is quite fashionable to project oneself as being beyond the constraints of lower level political groups by using the "muy trillada" phrase "politically correct" when dismissing their concerns or grievances.  ’ndito!

"I might be being politically correct but you are an idiot and better get out of my dictionary, linguistic space".
