The only appropriate responses to this sort of nonsense are:
1) laughter, and
2) celebration of the writer’s freedom of expression.
Why encourage such nonsense? Because whenever the progressive movement thinks it should express what they believe openly, it loses. Because sane non-progressives then have an opportunity to see progressives for what they really are, i.e. insane.
I understand your sentiment, and agree in many cases, that is best.
But the problem is, if it were just freedom of expression, that would be fine. But it isn’t. They are bound and determined to weave a huge web of legislation and bureaucracy to force you to kneel to their insanity.
Even now, with this, I could see some guy working at a cafeteria or something losing his job because of his lack of “sensitivity” and calling it an “oriental” salad versus an “asian” salad, or whatever the next “politically correct” version of what we are allowed to call it is approved by some unelected and unknown commissar somewhere.
