Being a minority myself who opposes these pointless language changes and seeing plenty of black/minority comments with similar opposition, may I point out that "everybody who disagrees me is a racist" just doesn't work particularly well as a rationalization?
- slfnflctd 6y agoWell, I heard an interview on NPR a couple days ago from a young Black woman who was surprised & hurt when she discovered some of these terms and is part of the effort to change them, so there's not exactly a consensus. Also, whoever is saying "everybody who disagrees with me is a racist" is probably wrong, unless they're talking about a specifically racist thing. I don't do that. However, you cannot deny the recent increase in actual white nationalism and neo-nazis, which is what I was referring to.
