LOL!!!
No it isn't it is seeding control of semiotics to leftist nihilistic distorters of meaning. You let them decide what signs to attach to things and which way those signs point and you wake up discovering that asians are white male colonizers.
In the famous words of Denny Crane [Boston Legal] never let the other side frame the issue. Well letting them call a journalist a "conservative issue" is allowing them to frame all kinds of issues, like the idiot conservatives are deplorable Trump supporters who follow the dog whistlers of their fascist Gauleiters.
They frame the issue and you lose the argument because you are blindly following a pretty face with a nice rack into a rascist motivated hell.

That rich guy who got himself (and four other people) killed going down to the Titanic was clear. He didn’t want any old white men around. No matter that they were the submersible experts.

Good for you. There is a time and place for everything. And at family gatherings it’s time for peace, not arguments. So like you, I say nothing political. Instead I have become an expert at changing the subject.
“I was amazed at how incompetent and timid folks were when it came time to make decisions.”
The reason for that is people get put into positions, not because of knowledge or competence, but because of their connections. This means they often don’t have a clue what the better answer would be. As long as they don’t make any decision, they can’t be blamed for something going wrong.
I recognized this when I worked as the engineering manager for a major subcomponents manufacturer supplying General Dynamics. I always went with at least three options with the upside and downside of each option. The man running the GD facility wouldn’t even let me finish explaining the first option before shouting it was my decision. (His money and risk but my decision?!) I always ended up making the call and I’d be blamed for whatever the result even when those results were exactly what I’d tried to outline. When I call him and idiot, I mean this. People would come to me and say, “Did you get the email from Joe?” “Yes. I printed it out and took a copy home.” “So did I.”
