According to progressive intersectional social justice, BOTH acknowledging and NOT acknowledging someones race is racist.
So yes, it is that hard.

Privilige + power means no US university or press outlet should be pushing Latinx.

The g-word isn't a theoretical slur, it is an actual slur.
Because people are not the same. Why do you ask? What difference does it make?Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 10:17 pmHere's the difference. If somebody politely asks me to stop using that word to refer to people of Hispanic origin, I will do it, and if I'm unsure why I will look up the origins of the word and its relevance in current society, because it costs me absolutely nothing to do so. It is polite, and as a writer, I have a vast multitude of other perfectly serviceable words at my disposal and plenty of other ways to convey information without using that word.Slash Gallagher wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 8:25 pmi think you are wrong and i don't like you enough. i also don't think of it as a slur.Fuzzy Necromancer wrote: ↑Sun Apr 29, 2018 8:00 pm Slash, it costs $0 to not use a slur when somebody tells you it is a slur.

Because you're making this claim that trying to be progressive is some tightwire act in today's PC Culture, and I'm asserting that all you need to do is make a very small effort to be polite.

Why is the history of US intervention in Latin American countries cogent to the coinage of new English words to be used in discourse in English?
