In the early-to-mid 20th century, the phrase "politically correct" was used to describe strict adherence to a range of ideological orthodoxies. In 1934, the New York Times reported that Nazi Germany was granting reporting permits "only to pure ‘Aryans’ whose opinions are politically correct."

The term "politically correct" was used disparagingly, to refer to someone whose loyalty to the CP line overrode compassion, and led to bad politics. It was used by Socialists against Communists, and was meant to separate out Socialists who believed in egalitarian moral ideas from dogmatic Communists who would advocate and defend party positions regardless of their moral substance.

A single journal reference isn't a scholarly rebuttal...and I have a tough time following a counter argument from someone that pulls the quote off of wikipedia and has no understanding of Political Science/International Relations/Strategic Study Theories. Did you even read the article...? and beyond your google search and first hit being wikipedia...what scholarly background do you have to question basis of the person's original thesis?
What you should have found most disconcerting is that people may believe that multi-culturalism, multi-racism, etc. are bad things...It is funny how we forget that in the 1850's the Irish were considered the blight on society...until they filled the Army's ranks on the side of the Union during our last Civil War. Or the Chinese in the west...and now Mexicans (Spanish)...who, by the way settled the West before most of the Anglo-Saxons arrived.
The sad thing about these boards is someone will not even read the entire article, and if they do, they don't understand the theoretical premises behind the person who authored it...Did you look at when it was published, probably not...
Get away from your keyboard and read some actual books.
