When you fail to recognize the biases of the culture you communicating to you are failing to communicate. Saying it's just a statement of fact and you aren't interested in using politically correct terminology just means you aren't interested in being understood.

You may wish you could communicate while disregarding how your words will be perceived. But that says more about your willingness to be understood than it says about the other person.
