Better for a screenwriter to turn all this on its head, to upend the common thinking. Write a story that 'deconstructs' political correctness. Aim for the timeless, the 'eternal truths'. It's your job.
Political correctness will one day take its place on the trash heap with other fine examples of mass lunacy down through the ages. Do you want you movie to be tossed unceremoniously on top of it? Or would you rather be known as the pundit who saw through it all before it crashed of its own weight.
Best of all would be to avoid political correctness and the power-through-victimhood movement altogether. It's fallacious, hateful, and destructive.
The world turned for many thousands of years without it, spinning timelessly classic stories that had nothing to do with victimhood. If they had they would not have become timeless.
The truth is we can't bear to watch hapless victims. They cannot power a story.
