No matter what "politically correct" term we come up with to describe a group of people, it will eventually become pejorative.

For example, "mentally retarded" was intended to be a kinder substitute for "moron" or "imbecile" - terms that were actually in wide usage up until the 1970s.

Obese was actually intended to be a nice way of saying "fat" or "husky". In fact, I remember back in the 1970s that they would sell "husky" jeans for you know, fat people.
