I just saw a dictionary of non-racist, non-sexist, non-homophobe, non-jihadiphobe words.
It had one entry:
THE.

Did any people of Chinese descent complain or is it only while liberals feigning outrage on behalf of them.

Your post #27 re Canadian and American co-operation in defeating the Nazi Forces appreciated.
By way of a little extra news, Canada has sent about 70 special force soldiers to help the Iraqis with knowledge and knowhow with tactics etc.
It so happened that while the Canadians were pinpointing targets with technical devices, they were fired on by Isis. They fired back.
The cries of protest came from the opposition. They accused the Prime Minister of falsely saying Canadian troops are not "boots on the ground, but advisers. Prime Minister Harper stated that Canadian troops are instructing allies. He said "If they (Isis) fire on us - we will kill them.

Yup! You’re gonna be in trouble for unwarranted attacks on the “slopes”. Has anybody taken all the ski areas worldwide to task for such ugly racism used in their adverts?

This article makes me feel jipped.

Oh jeez, more PC. They can’t say chinks as an adjective. They can’t refer to Muslims when discussing terrorism. I even bet the word “niggardly” is banned when discussing habits of thrift.

I get people complaining about the word in the tweet since people are f’in stupid. But the Army deleting it? There’s a PAO with zero balls right there.

About a year ago on a different forum, I referred to a spy as a spook.In Harry Turtledove's novel fantasy THE TOXIC SPELL DUMP, CIA agents really are "spooks." Even if you're not a regular reader of fantasy, I think you might enjoy this book. It's full of delightful puns.

the nazis changed the German language as a means of manipulating German society into becoming more accepting of nazi goals. At the time the Constitution was written, government money given to the poor was termed "poor relief." It was termed "welfare" only after the New Deal tried to use the "General Welfare" clause in the Preamble to the Constitution to justify poor relief.
It wasn't only the Nazis that changed the language to further some political goal.
