    When you refer to being for or against political correctness in your research questions it's unclear whether you mean for or against the labeling of things as politically correct, or for or against things believed to be "politically correct."

    Also, your second question is "When did the meaning of PC change?" This assumes that it has changed? So, a more fundamental question might be "Has the meaning of PC changed and, if so, how did it change and when did that change take place?

    Your question "Which is more important, quality or diversity?" has the underlying assumption that one is more important than the other. Both can be important without necessarily being on a gradient of importance.

    Question 25 seems to suggest that race and gender is put into every discussion of art or media. You'll need to be careful when answering questions like this not to "cherry pick" the examples that back it up.

    Question 29 is interesting but the question is "from whose perspective"?

   As I said, political correctness isn't a bad thing. Making a good society for all of us is a wonderful thing to do.   The problem is that it limits the range of the range of people's opinions. Jonathan Kay insist that human beings like the power to shut up other people and we could easily do that on internet these days. We could crowdsource censorship using SNS and criticize what they didn't like immediately. That will prevent people to say what they really want to say on the internet.  Being politically correct is not a bad thing, but what you do with it is important.
