Das ist sie also. Die Frau, vor der sich alle fürchten. 40 Jahre alt. Promovierte Chemikerin. Vier Kinder. Getrennt vom Ehemann, einem evangelischen Pfarrer, neue Beziehung mit dem NRW-Chef der AfD. Dynamisches, unprätentiöses Auftreten. Fester Händedruck. Zugewandter, direkter Blick. Sie kann reden wie ein Buch, verirrt sich nie in ihren Schachtelsätzen und sagt, was sie sagen will. Frau Dr. Petry zieht rund 450 Menschen mit ihrem Vortrag zur „aktuellen politischen Lage“ in Schützenhaus nach Mannheim. Weitere 200 kommen nicht mehr rein. Rund 650 Menschen wollen also die Bundesvorsitzende der „Alternative für Deutschland“ sehen. Der Kreisverband hat gerade mal 120 Mitglieder. Mehr Interesse geht nicht.

Neu an der zweiten Welle politischer Korrektheit sei die Fixierung auf „Mikroaggressionen“. Darunter verstehen die Aktivisten der neuen politischen Korrektheit alle sprachlichen oder symbolischen Äußerungen, die als sozial, ethnisch, religiös oder sonst wie verletzend empfunden werden könnten.
So verkleideten sich etwa zwei Studentinnen des Claremont College zu Halloween mit Sombreros, Ponchos und Klebeschnauzer, was wütende Proteste auslöste. Hier mache sich die weiße Elite über eine Minderheit lustig. Ähnliches widerfuhr Studenten am Ithaca College, die sich im Stil schwarzer Gangster-Rapper verkleiden wollten und damit, so der Vorwurf, Rassenstereotypen Vorschub leisteten.
Doch für sensible Gemüter lauern Mikroaggressionen nicht nur auf Kostümfesten. Mikroaggressionen drohen überall, etwa in der Weltliteratur. Aus diesem Grund gehen Dozenten an immer mehr englischsprachigen Universitäten dazu über, Texte nicht mehr ohne „Trigger-Warnungen“ auszugeben.

John Cleese: Political Correctness Can Lead to an Orwellian Nightmare [2:37]
Veröffentlicht am 31.01.2016
The essence of comedy is being critical, says Cleese, and that means causing offense sometimes. But we shouldn't protect everyone from experiencing negative emotions by enforcing political correctness, he says. Cleese's latest book is "So, Anyway..." (http://goo.gl/D2D3cp).

Transcript - I'm offended every day. For example, the British newspapers every day offend me with their laziness, their nastiness and they're in accuracy, but I'm not going to expect someone to stop that happening I just simply speak out about it. Sometimes when people are offended they want - you can just come in and say right stop that to whoever it is offending them. And, of course, as a former chairman of the BBC one said, "There are some people who I wish to offend." And I think there's truth in that too. So the idea that you have to be protected from any kind of uncomfortable emotion is what I absolutely do not subscribed to. And a fellow who I helped write two books about psychology and psychiatry was a renowned psychiatrist called Robert Skinner said something very interesting to me. He said, "If people can't control their own emotions then they have to start trying to control other people's behavior." And when you're around super sensitive people you cannot relax and be spontaneous because you have no idea what's going to upset them next. And that's why I've been warned recently don't to go to most university campuses because the political correctness has been taken from being a good idea, which is let's not be mean in particular to people who are not able to look after themselves very well, that's a good idea, to the point where any kind of criticism or any individual or group could be labeled cruel.
And the whole point about humor, the whole point about comedy, and believe you me I thought about this, is that all comedy is critical. Even if you make a very inclusive joke like how would you make God laugh? Answer: tell him your plans. Now that's about the human condition; it's not excluding anyone. Saying we all have all these plans, which probably won't come and isn't it funny how we still believe they're going to happen. So that's a very inclusive joke. It's still critical. All humor is critical. If you start to say we mustn't, we mustn't criticize or offend them then humor is gone. With humor goes a sense of proportion. And then as far as I'm concerned you're living in 1984.
