- skh 8y agoFrom Wikipedia: Politics (from Greek: πολιτικά, translit. Politiká, meaning "affairs of the cities") is the process of making decisions that apply to members of a group.[1] The article discusses a dialect of English and how its speakers can be disadvantaged in certain situations. It’s an article bringing awareness of a situation. It’s not political. Being exposed to facts is not political.
