How can one write concisely without using stereotypes?

…Or write concisely without using labels or short descriptive phrases to identify one type of person or group of individuals, etc. without potentially offending someone?
Political correctness rules! Gentleness, kindness, and empowerment – they all rule! But, still, in my line of work, I have seen the population whom I’ve served be called by at least 10 different terms over the past 10 years.
In attempting to be concise in my academic and non-academic work, I’ve unintentionally offended others with labels and terminology.
If writing must be concise, how can one describe or identify an individual or group of people without using stereotypical language? Especially considering the ever-evolving political correctness of language?
