What is your definition of PC and where did you get it?
Either something is correct or it isn't. If one has to modify the term "correct" in describing an action, i.e., "politically correct", the action was not actually correct.
Taking the concept to a clear application -- no one would now claim antisemitic attitudes in 1939 Germany were correct. But they were politically correct in Germany at the time.

No. Simply putting an adverb before the word " correct" does not change it to mean the opposite. "Technically correct" still means correct, "thoroughly correct" also means correct.
It's just stating that something is correct in the political since, and since politics is about popularity it means something that would be popular. Or at the very least not unpopular with the largest number of people.
