I agree with the take that PC means bastardization of our language for the least common denominator, but the OP involves a political dynamic. There will always be those who know better yet take advantage of those who don't, and the situation, for their own gain. I wish he hadn't lost his job over it but politicians live in this game of frogger every day and had better look both ways.
In the same light, the rest of us need to be vocal or that denominator may never learn.
