It's a pejorative term originally used to describe ALL language, ideas, policies, or behaviour seen as trying to minimise offence to racial, cultural, or other identity groups. The dinosaurs have, for the most part, conceded (or at least prefer to give the appearance of conceding) the key principles.
Plenty of posts in this thread indicate we've still got a long way to go......
Your example of the ban on asking for a black coffee in the police canteen is clearly barmy but my own preference on encountering such nonsense would be for a more neutral term than 'PC'.
