It used to be Political Correctness when we insist that people who are not white straight christian men of means deserve equal rights and regard in our society. Before those terms came out the community was segregated enough by default and everyone went to some Christian church, even if it was liberal or new-agey.

So yeah, this isn't our first rodeo.
