Obama: Trump’s ‘Definition Of Political Correctness’ Likely ‘Different Than Mine’

During a recent interview with NPR, President Obama admitted that, as his successor Donald Trump has argued, there can, at times, be issues with political correctness going too far, but Obama also said, "I suspect the president-elect's definition of political correctness would be different than mine."

In a recent interview with NPR, President Obama acknowledged that political correctness “is a tricky issue.” 
Host Steve Inskeep had asked him the question, “Is President-elect Trump right that political correctness in this country has gone too far?” 
Obama answered by stating that “this is a tricky issue and here's why: Because the definition of political correctness is all over the map.” 
He then added, “I suspect the president-elect's definition of political correctness would be different than mine.” 
Obama pointed out that he doesn’t consider it political correctness when, in his words, “there is some broad disapproval that's expressed when somebody uses a racial epithet, or somebody makes a derogatory comment about women, or about the LGBT community.” 
Instead, he described that behavior as “good manners, sound values and hard-fought gains in the nature of American society and American community.”
However, the president did acknowledge that there may be too much political correctness in terms of what he called “a hypersensitivity that ends up resulting in people not being able to express their opinions at all without somebody suggesting they're a victim.” 
Donald Trump has openly spoken out against political correctness, labeling it as “the big problem this country has.”
The businessman explained in a later interview that “the problem with political correctness [is] it takes too long.”
