It's mostly a sound-byte of cynicism targeted at people who promulgate 'person first' correctness without the backdrop of understanding the nuanced impact rhetoric has, or the willingness to dig into those impacts like you have. I personally have little patience for those who simply say "You shouldn't say that, say this instead" without the fortitude or intellectual honesty to back up what they're invariably ordering me to say or not say. But this really isn't the venue for that kind of discussion. I respect that you took the time to understand these different sociological phenomenons, so I apologize if it seemed like my comment was a dig at you personally-it wasn't.
