Bernstein, Richard (28. oktober 1990). «The Rising Hegemony of the Politically Correct». The New York Times(engelsk). ISSN0362-4331. Besøkt 1. november 2020. «The term "politically correct," with its suggestion of Stalinist orthodoxy, is spoken more with irony and disapproval than with reverence.

And though the terms are not used in utter seriousness, even by the p.c.p.'s themselves, there is a large body of belief in academia and elsewhere that a cluster of opinions about race, ecology, feminism, culture and foreign policy defines a kind of "correct" attitude toward the problems of the world, a sort of unofficial ideology of the university.»
