The Escape into Hyperbole: Communication and Political Correctness.
Asante, Molefi Kete
Journal of Communication, v42 n2 p141-47 Spr 1992
Maintains that political correctness as an issue is a hyperbole, and the attack on political correctness is merely the anticipated reaction to the expansion of dialogue to society's least visible populations. Discusses the First and Fourteenth Amendments to the Constitution, and argues that the twin conceptions of personal liberty and community protection must always be combined. (SR)
