Not just sometimes.
PC never really works as it allows a wrong to continue. At best it redefines or weasel words that which is being offered in the hopes of avoiding conflict or maybe not offending someone, etc. Only amounting as in the case above deception or mis-interpretation while avoiding the truth.
PC is nothing more than a permit to do or say that which is not right or correct. And those who use it have no idea what they are talking about as they rearrange reality to suit their agenda/feelings/or what ever.
