I have thought more than just a few times that some people who rail against political correctness are doing so to justify their lack of manners. They would rather claim that they "call it as they see it" rather than admit that they are too weak or don't care enough to work on their manners.

As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

It was the inference at a continent level, that I felt was very simplistic.

Generalizations are inherently simplified; that doesn't make them inaccurate.

I always thought that political correctness was where people used euphemisms

In practice it usually means they use non-offensive meaningless euphemisms lest someone object.
