That's just among unhinged liberal idiots, usually white people pretending to be talking for black people. But I will say, simply being called "Yo white guy!" Would be annoying. Can't speak of how much more or less annoying than some one black being called, "Yo black guy!" It's somewhat disrespectful, though can be understandable if someone is trying to call for you, and your skin color is the most notably different feature about you then the rest of the guys around you. Preferably, most people would like to be called by their name, especially if you know their name. Yet, even there, some people don't even like their name. So maybe for some, "Yo black dude!" would be preferable than, say, being called Peewee, because that's what your parents named you after because they liked Peewee's Playhouse, and named you before the whole getting caught wanking it in a porn theater incident.

This is the ultimate goal of so-called "intersectionality" in the modern social justice, grievance grift. Human beings are hard-wired for tribalism, grouping ourselves into like in-groups and casting ourselves adversarially against out-groups. Intersectionality's intent is to group various in-groups against common enemies, hence why everything bad is an example of "white supremacy," including Asian dominance in academic and socio-economic performance, the inconvenience of Jews as a consistently over-performing minority group, the out-performance of recent African immigrants over African-Americans whose families have been in the US for generations, etc.

That's not the reason... It's the same reason we stopped calling it"climate change" and use the longer "anthropomorphic climate change" in science communication now... The original wasn't conveying the actual object of study. In the "climate change" case the phrase was creating confusion with the same nomenclature in glaciology which referres to the natural change of the earth's climate which occurs naturally during hundreds of thousands of years. In this case the word "minorities" was redefined for accuracy (attaching the meaning to the ability population has to exert power) some odd 30-40 years ago and means "the groups of people with less power in society to defend their beliefs or their dignity" which are often migrants or from a population with a different phenotype than those considered the "typical inhabitant" in the scientific community. this was PRECISELY because the number of people, while a factor, may not always apply... Take the time of civil war... Slaves were 4x more numerous than slavers and yet those oppressed were obviously the slaves. This means that the words directly connected to the scientific description of "minority" like "racism" or "xenophobia" gained a new dimension that was lacking so far. This can then be studied in terms of geographic area, country or worldwide which has caused a lot of confusion... For instance... The idea that Africans cant be racist... In the general meaning of the word or if you're studying the phenomenon exclusively from a local perspective and the population suffering violence has no means to fight back or protect their rights they can absolutely be but if you're using the scientific definition and viewing it from a global perspective they cannot... because they are, by definition, not powerful enough to exert global power over the cultures or populations claiming to be under attack (economically, politically or military the major powers are all in the west) it would be the geopolitic equivalent of someone claiming another was being aggressive after having a gun pointed at them for hours... Anyway... I digress... My point is... The nomenclature used has had several proposals to change it precisely because it wasn't being understood in all it's connotations not because there's a major political conspiracy behind it.

Speaking as a Canadian lawyer who practiced immigration and refugee law for years, classifying "foreigner" or "illegal alien" as offensive terms to be replaced by "refugee", "newcomer" or "international person" is actually very deliberate. It is highly politicized long-term social engineering propaganda. It is part of an attempt to make any discussion about taking effective government action against people from abroad who enter and live in Canada illegally a taboo subject in our political discourse. A "refugee" is someone who has made a formal application for refugee status and has had it reviewed and approved by an Immigration and Refugee Board tribunal. Until then they are a "refugee claimant". Once approved, a refugee may apply for and automatically receive permanent legal status in Canada as a "permanent resident" or "PR" for short. After a number of years, the PR may then apply to become a "citizen". These are all official terms. A person from a foreign country may also enter the country legally as a "temporary resident" (again an official term). They may enter on a visitor visa as a visitor or tourist, on a work visa as a foreign worker (and "foreign worker" is the official government designation for them - NOT "international worker"), or on a student visa as an international student (again the official designation). All these people may be described as "newcomers" - and are called just that in many official government suppoer programs. Again, "newcomer" very much implies (or used to) someone with a legal status in Canada and therefore a legal right to be here. A person who either enters the country illegally or enters fraudulently on a temporary visa and then never leaves is NOT a "refugee", "newcomer" or "international person". They are a person from a foreign country (i.e. a "foreigner") who is in the country illegally and therefore is an "illegal alien". Period. Trying to force university students writing on Political Studies issues, for example, to discuss immigration issues without being allowed to refer to them as such is a deliberate choice by the university.

So using ‘blacks’ would reduce a person to their complexion whereas using ‘blank person’ would simply categorise a person based on their complexion.

For example, the 1% richest people are a minority, but I'm pretty sure most of them don't require equity, they already have it (badum tsss... explanation of the joke: equity in finance it's pretty much all the wealth that is not cash, like stocks or real estate).

Who have always called themselves Gypsies but I've witnessed it evolving into an offensive word and being replaced by "Ŕoma" people. But when I say "Roma" , a Roma person would freak out and say that he is a Gypsy and not to call him that (Roma) but if some politically correct shitlib hears me saying Gipsy, I get corrected and let to know that it's offensive.. Damn, so I literally call one of my closest friends "Gipsy" and he gets offended when using this special "kind" language around him and hates the word "Roma" because he feels that he is being treated with caution and something, you know? So the minority gets offended by the name they force on society to use. They feel racism when hearing that word being used so carefully, they feel taht they stand out and are treated or looked upon different and some ppl get really insulted and I've heard it a thousand times, like "I am a Gypsy, not Roma, we are Gypsies and proud of it.!" So doesn't that forced ussage of terms actuallcontributing to these people obviously being made to stand out l, isn't that racism? When I was a kid, they were called "Roma" if used on tv, or if it's something official, and they have the Roma political party, but not in use outside of official stuff.. and ..... it was all cool.. The newspeak made it stand out more.. Also, for an Albanian, we use he word "Šiptar" and it is very offensive, you can get a lot of flak for using that word, but bro.. just look how they call their own country and nation.. Yeah .. yoh guessed it.. in Albanian it's he word they use to describe themselves... Wokeness and living in Berlin for years made me see where I am at. Because I travelled around, wandered. Took up factory jobs just to kinde meet people , the mentality and see other countries from within, not as a tourist.. And I realized that I really like and enjoy my home country.. but it is becoming what I escaped.. (meaning Berlin) and so, the only place I felt the right vibe, has strenght, people have integrity, see these things from afar and say "no thanks" is for me, Russia, where I spent a year working .. and btw, as my gf is trans, we have visited and seen many places in Russia, never had a problem because of her and you know why? They don't care and don't want to know.. they just don't care if you sck d/$k or eat pssy.. they don't want tk know bcs it's your personal thing and if you keep it that way, you'll have no problem whatsoever.. If you were to harass and assault people to use some pronouns and demand respect because you put a dress on, you're getting smacked in the face. And I agree, respect is earned, not forced upon people ... So you realize that ... People, trust me on this one, the West is a dictatorship... call it democracy but what were you asked about and was your opinion heard ever on anything? On any war or some other money launderibg scheme or the censorship . .. no. That's why you don't even know that the NSA took over the internet , literally overnight WHat I experienced j Russia, still the freedom and safety, due to collective rejection of wokeness, made me, the, a 33 year old guy, a cknstruction worker now, to enroll into University, Slavic Studies, so I learn Slavistics .. I have much Russian, Ukrainian, Ruthenian lang. (already know Slovak, Czech alongside Hungarian and German) So seeing it coming to Serbia made me study Russian so I can go when it's time. Also, their methods and speech made me research propaganda and I want to do my Master's in Communicology. That's a nice word for propaganda .. anyway, , like the NSA since today controls the internet in the US, I'm gonna watch how worse it gets now, I've just listened to the new CEO of NPR and it's so crazy. She literally said that journalists often go digging for the truth but that's not what they should be focused on, said that misinformation is a problem and we have to turn to the government to help us determine what's true and what's false, she said that currently, the biggest obstacle for "us" is the 1st ammendment. So, they also don't use the word "censor"when referring to themselves (because it's just doublespeak, becajse Putin censors and every "New Htlr" they have on their sight (except for Israel, they get a pass (like you wouldn't charge the owner of a Café you work in) There is just one more thing I'll add, very important .. I got licked out of my FB account for spreading hateful content by a "dangerous individual" . Namely I posted a investigative journalism piece by Kit Klerenberg about factual evidence he found involvement of the CIA in creating IsIs. How were weapons were channeled through Libya to the Islamic state after they wrecked Lybia for wanting to move oil away from the Dollar and Euro and I've seen it, like, Isis with tg44 rifles which my dad had as a Yugoslav paratrooper, whjch we took from the nzis and later gave it to Libya.. So Kit, after this piece, an investigative journalist, for presenting facts , was deemed a" dangerous person" and if you spread some of his reporting you are engaged in hate crime.. So FB is helping a terrorist organization by doing this. It is all in the open qnd people see it but the whole thing is so just made up that it is a perfect mechanism. You raise a real issue and get called "conspiracy theorist" and "nut", and they don't have to do much, the system an culture does it by themselves. Trust me, Russia is more free than you think but they have different views on things which is cool if you adapt to the culture you come into instead of vice versa. Peace out

Hi Metatron, you’re entirely right in every aspect. The trouble is, your excellent appraisal is around 20 years too late. They aren’t listening, because they’ve already won. The reason is that most conservatives have quietly left the academic field, like myself. Thus handing them their victory on a plate. This was suicidally stupid of us, especially considering that none of their ‘progressive’ ideas can really stand up to good, old fashioned academic scrutiny. We gave them a gigantic open goal, and now we have sophistry rather than scholarship. Globally. For some it was simply a matter of survival, with others it was intellectual cowardice, because there’s no getting away from it - dealing with a confederacy of dunces that are making rules for us, can put marks upon us. Wounds. It can ruin livelihoods and lives - like letting a simpleton drive the bus. Keep up the good work! Mille Gratsi ~ here’s an imaginary $10,000 donation … 😅… (I subscribed, tho’)

TWO WORDS that actualy descirbe your "slavery" without using racism. Karel Čapek was a Czech writer who also invented ONE word for forced labor, "robota". The word "slav" comes from defining a people MEANT to be treated like robots, and thanks to having the word robot, we could just call robotic things robotic and human beings human. USA can't even call "Americans" a continental demonym, or Asians, their current Apple-Amazon forced labor, as anything by a race, of lesser humans. The big talking point is if AI art will take the jobs, that previously would be forced on cheap asian labor like animation.

What hilarious is people thinking that English just popped out of nowhere. That it has no origins or creations from other languages globally… except when it does, when they want to cherry pick to show a word is “offensive.” These words all have origins that accurately describe the thing down to its last tiny detail by combining different words. To the T it perfectly describes (the ones they’re replacing) people, which should immediately disperse any offence. These words didn’t just pop up and decide to be offensive, they’ve history which shows what things actually are. The words people are using to replace them have barely any descriptive meaning or history. There’s barely any linkage with the words which showcase its creations That’s the beauty of language,.. it has lineage to show where it came from how and exactly what it means. Much of the language has French and such behind it, but we don’t call the same equivalent words offensive Every language has this it simply seems that English is being told it can’t have that because you can now see people from across the globe travel to the west and so that must somehow “offend” them to know words were formed using partial of their culture at some point. This idea of focusing away from accuracy and origin with precise description is what’s ruining more than just language, it’s ruining society White people are always the ones in focus as being “offensive” to everyone, which seems to be the motive for this change in the English language and not any other language

As a father of a disabled child, who has given up a highly paid career to take care and to teach him the basic skills needed to function independently in life, I find it difficult to find upset and angst in the way other people use language.

They separated the "civilized" worlds of North America and Europe with the mysterious "orient" full of magic, superstition, defying physics and sexual misanthropy or "The Other"".

As someone who was taught to look at the horrible parts of history with critical thinking rather than emotions, I honestly have never been offended by the word "Oriental". I actually don't mind being called an oriental and I am Asian. I really don't get why history is getting cancelled. I mean sure lots of things that happened are bad, but we need to learn about them in order to learn from them so that we can stop these horrible things from repeating. That's literally the point of history.

It is much more than this. The purpose of propaganda, at least in its late stage form, is not to inform you, or deceive you or even manipulate you. It's to humiliate you. Its purpose is to be so outlandish, so ridiculous and so blatantly untrue and yet totally undeniable in order to reinforce the power of the state. The Soviets referred to this as 'hyperrealism'. That is-the state of everyone saying things that are completely false and that they know to be false-but which they cannot deny. The supermarket shelves are empty and bread lines stretch around the corner, but the newspapers report that the year's agricultural quotas have been exceeded once again. And then everyone is forced to repeat this lie and thus they become complicit in it. It is a system of total social humiliation and control, theorized in the aftermath of the October revolution by those who wanted to spread a communist utopia throughout the world and today made into a weapon by the world's economic powers in search of control over the masses, who take advantage of the work of these useful idiots.

Real world newspeak primary characteristic: words and terms that include their own interpretation. For example "newcomer" or "refugee" instead of the neutral word foreign. Newcomer self contained interpretation: You are oldcomer, they are newcomer, this is an equalization, so they have right to come like your ancestors come from other land (like all human groups). Conclusion, your population don't have right to have a migration politic based on your population interests, because there are not nationals and foreigners that can become nationals through nationality acquisition, there are oldcomers and newcomers. Refugee self contained interpretation: Because this is proposed as alternative to foreigner, doesn't matter if this reflect the truth, don't matter that the person is from a country in war or anything like that, the aim is that if you don't agree with open frontiers you are against offering refuge so you are morally bad. You can do this exercise with every newspeak word. All of them contain an interpretation, none of them are neutral just words, all of them are political devices.

I should clarify, these terms are not specifically deemed offensive. They are "terms to avoid" (in academic papers) because they are informal, outdated, inaccurate or overly general in many cases. Also, these guidelines apply across many categories of language, not just race. I do agree that some seem nonsensical, especially the "equity deserving people"

I think there's another reason for all this which goes beyond inoffensiveness: it serves as comfort food for the people who come up with these terms. Instead of trying to work to help the groups they're discussing, they spend time and effort focusing on terminology which lets them feel like they're actually achieving something.

Frenchman here, who also happens to be black at that! In french, the Middle-East is called Moyen-Orient, so I always saw people from Arabic countries as Oriental. And never considered it offensive as it's a descriptive term. So it's just ridiculous to replace Oriental by Asian people because it excludes non-Asian Oriental people. Cheers from France mate! 🍻 PS: I've seen some people call anyone black African-American without thinking. A black American should be called American, because he is. Unless you call a white American European-American. It would be really weird to me to be referred as a African-European. I'm French with a black Dad and a white Mom, which makes it already frustrating when people call me African. It excludes half of my genes, and ignores the fact I've never stepped foot in Africa. I was born and raised in France, so I'm French. Not just a citizen of France, I'm culturally French in all the ways anyone on my Mom's side of the family are.

"VisibLE minority" has been used heavily by the Canadian government, particularly in forms to fill out: "Are you a member of a visible minority?" So the word seems to have been mis-read by the typist who is unaware of the actual expression that has been in use for at least the last 2 decades in Canada. The small "w" of "white" may also have been copied as perceived from the hand-written document without any thought as to the proper writing rule. The document may or may not have been proofread.
