PC and Dialects in fiction

[Patti J. Kurtz]

In addition to being an English professor, I also write fiction.  One
critique group I belong to raised the question of the representation of
dialect in fiction and whether or not such representations are now
considered non-politically correct.

Has anyone heard anything about this?  Is there a sort of move against
using dialect in fiction because it's deemed "non PC"?

Thanks!
