The use of 'Amish' has been a way to ridicule the journalist community. Once you complain about it, it will be all you hear. People will probably even ping you with 'Amish' comments.

It's like getting called a name like 'stinky' or 'chubs' in Jr. High and telling kids that you hate it. That toothpaste ain't goin' back in the tube!

I suppose we could start using Mennonite instead.
