I like to believe there's a middle ground between not being a completely offensive starfish and going outside of the acceptable comfort zone of entertainment. It feels as if the problem with the political correctness argument isn't that there's no right answer, but rather that there's no good way to talk about it. I loving love the Sergio Leone westerns, I feel as though it exists on some level where political correctness just isn't really that relevant. We don't really lose if we try new, offensive humor, but we also don't lose if we self-police ourselves to a point of striving for refined and higher class entertainment.
The argument really becomes more interesting when you stop trying to stick an argument to people to attack them.

I often lean more towards what people in the topic would consider "Political correctness" due to my opinion that society should be a little bit more proactive about how we consume media, due to just how much our culture molds itself around entertainment in general. Ideally in a more hands-off fashion, but with at least some concern for the future. There's really no points to be drawn from "Just shut up and put up with what you don't like," there's no discussions there.
I think indigence and self-righteous disgust towards offensive material is still a bad way to discuss things, but I will argue to the ends of the earth that arguments of any sort about political correctness are in whole a good thing, no matter who is right or wrong. Godspeed, Mr. Eastwood.
