political correctness is perfectly fine when you are part of a multi-ethnic project.
- sheraz 10y agoI'm all for civility and decorum, but I believe that political correctness has slipped into a hole of trigger warnings, safe spaces, and all the fun stuff we see happening on many college campuses. In my opinion multi-ethnic projects mean that we should grow thicker skin, and laugh off the misunderstandings and preconceptions rather than "re-educate" Orweillian style.
- dev1n 10y agoI would not consider renaming master/slave as an Orwellian "re-education". Orwellian-style re-education would be refraining from talking about the Holocaust because it causes people to get pissed off / "triggered". I also think there is a big difference between re-naming terms in computer science and not being able to talk about $ethnicity in a history class in an education setting (college campuses etc.). You should not confuse the two.
- geezerjay 10y ago> political correctness is perfectly fine when you are part of a multi-ethnic project. That comment would only start to make sense if you assume that a project employs slaves. Otherwise, it's a colossal waste of human effort, and a very silly one at that.
