Who coined the term politically correct?
Politically Correct […] The original sense of politically correct was as a term used to address mixed bodies of people so as not to offend. In 1793, Justice James Wilson in Chisholm v. Georgia used the term to distinguish between the phrases United States and people of the United States (he believed the latter to be politically correct). In 1936, H.V. Morton’s In the Steps of Saint Paul referred to the term Galatians as a politically correct way to address anyone subject to Roman rule. […] The abbreviation PC first appeared in the New York Times in 1986.
