When the overwhelming majority of a society finds something offensive, like waving a Nazi, then that is a social norm. When a small group decides widely accepted behavior is suddenly offensive and anyone who doesn't agree is attacked then that is PC.

The entire PC movement can be seen as an attempt to convince society to normalize beliefs that are currently out of the norm? Makes way more sense when I think about it like that.
Hollywood has the best moral compass, because it has compassion.
I don't care if Trump deputizes the Klan or outlaws Spanish; Rocket Man is worth it.
