Summary/Abstract: Political correctness has become one of the most controversial topics regarding migration. This practice was established due to the movements for equality that emerged in the twentieth century and is based on the desire to respect the rights of all communities or individuals exposed to the risk of being discriminated against. Despite the fact that it relies on current axiological foundations, through the language restrictions it imposes in order not to damage the image and interests of the discriminated persons, a number of criticisms can be brought, which, objectively viewed, may require a reinterpretation and a revision on how it is implemented.
