I think it depends where you are online because it's true in some spaces but in real life I've known a lot of use these terms to point out very legitimate issues. In general I think these issues are much more prevalent than a lot of people think and there's a lot of subtle prejudices that people themselves don't know they have. I live in Chicago and I've had a few people in real life say things like "I'm just prejudiced against poor/uneducated/[insert other similar group]" and ignore the fact that they are much more likely to assume that black people are members of that group (and that's ignoring how that comment it's somewhat problematic on its face already). There's also stuff like how having women more likely to do non engineering work like taking notes or setting up team events seems to be depressingly common in the industry.
