larry summers et. al. 'victims' of political correctness

To align yourself with the powerful and then take aim at the powerless takes not one ounce of valour. To prop up prevailing hierarchies and orthodoxies rather than challenge them demands not a scintilla of bravery.
Gary Younge's columns in the Guardian are always superb; today on the abuse of the word brave, and more. I've always thought that majority discourses rely on claiming victimhood, while simultaneously posing as a victim of minorities.
