These Right Wing Dupes latched onto the "PC is bad" thing as a way to
demonize/minimalize compassionate behavior. As if they needed ANOTHER
scapegoat to justify their anger and confusion regarding anything that
is "different".

"Song of the South" was non-PC unintentionally. The only one in that
list, btw.

"The Godfather" was not on that list, I see. It should have been #1.
