I don't like the slippery slope fallacy in general, but with this topic I am really asking myself how things will develop eventually. Will colors be outlawed, to be replaced by wavelength numbers? Will hierarchies of all sorts be forbidden? How will we be able to make movies or write books or computer games about historic events?
- torstenvl 6y agoColor channel specifications are specifically racist since they assign a higher value to white (#ffffff / rgb(28, 128, 128)) than to black (#000000 / rgb(0, 0, 0)).....
- Normille 6y agoAs I said in another comment on another thread, which naturally got downvoted into oblivion, we are rapidly heading into an Orwellian word where the language becomes so loaded and politicised that it will soon be impossible to use certain formerly innocuous words, because they'll be seen as too offensive. As I said then. Maybe we should just replace the word 'Black' throughout the English language with 'Double-Plus-Un-White' and have done with it?
- alwillis 6y agoThere's nothing wrong with the word black. Something seems wrong with using the terminology “master/slave” in the 21st century when we mean “primary/secondary” or “default/dev” when using version control software.
- lazyjones 6y ago> There's nothing wrong with the word black. It's negatively connoted in many places. In German for example, fare jumpers are "black riders", people who don't pay TV fees are "black viewers", illicit money is "black money", pessimistic views are "seeing black" etc. etc. ...
