This is a strong, ASSERTIVE, statement.
It is not passive, it is not aggressive.

With all the liberal political correctness, most Americans are not used to hearing assertive speech.They mistakenly refer to being assertive as “scaremongering” or “aggressive.”
When people are not able to be assertive , they often end up ‘aggressive.”
