You are defining political correctness 😆 which merely means you didn't understand the problem here. What the privileged idiot said was incorrect. Period. Not merely politically incorrect.
Acting - the kind he gets to do - is not a high risk job with re: COVID 19. The cast and crew get tested and then work in a disease-free environment.
Healthcare workers actually work WITH Covid positive patients, sometimes with inadequate protection. In the U.S., more than 1700 healthcare workers have died from Covid itself, not to mention from being unable to get treatment for other disorders. https://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/938266
This is just for one country. Imagine the globalized number!
How many actors have died of Covid in India and across the globe? How many of those who passed were because they ran TOWARD the problem to save someone's life instead of catching it by chance?
By definition, political correctness implies the avoidance of saying something literally truthful but offensive in reality. What the actor in question did is claim something absolutely moronic. Idiocy is not the same as being politically incorrect.
And to top it off by trying to blame others for mocking him!
