I'm not even convinced that is an example of PC at work, but it certainly isn't a
recent example. To me that's simply the anti-racism legislation at work, which is NOT the same as PC.

You seem to think that PC is a tool for anti-racism and as such a good thing.
To me, that is another argument used to maintain PC and to make it possible for anyone who is against PC (in it's divisive, brain-dead form found today) to be labelled 'racist' by implication.

If there are no positive examples, then it can't be a positive thing, can it?

And apparently any other -ism that anyone cares to invent.
If it ever had such a noble aim, it has now become so perverted that it should be consigned to history.
