It's avoiding hate speech. The phrase itself has a negative connotation, so the only people who use it are those who want to use hate speech

It's a term used to describe language, policies, or measures that are intended to avoid offense or disadvantage to members of particular groups in society. In public discourse and the media, the term is generally used as a pejorative with an implication that these policies are excessive or unwarranted. And I suppose it is quite obvious why people protest about it.
