I recently saw a report showing how large city newspapers use political correctness in their references to people. It was fascinating to see how they worked so hard not to stereotype, misname or put one gender, race, organization, religion or anything else they can think of ahead of another. This article stated so many of these categories existed the reporters had to refer to a large book for the proper designations.
