Ainsi a-t-on remplacé "American Indian" par "Native American", "Black" par "African American", "disabled" par "differently abled" et "blind" par "visually challenged". Ce mouvement eut également des conséquences sur les comportements sociaux en sensibilisant la population à des problèmes comme le harcèlement sexuel. Pour les adeptes du politiquement correct, ces changements contribuent à éliminer discrimination et préjugés, mais nombreux sont ceux qui s'opposent à ce mouvement en le qualifiant de tyrannique et d'obsessionnel. -
