Wasn’t “asian” by chance, was he?

That's the translation in England for the French 'youth'. Just like 'youth' has nothing to do with age, 'asian' has nothing to do with geographic origin. But we can't call Muslims what they really are, can we?

'Working class' means slums, most of whose inhabitants aren't gainfully employed at licit jobs.

It does in England, where it is used and where the Muslims are from Pakistan, which is well and truly planted in Asia.

slums

And slums are the suburban ghettos made up of god awful commie block housing. Far from the city center or areas where the elites live.

I’m wondering what term they’ll go on to when ‘youths’ becomes too obvious and non-PC to use. The left sure has an amazing ability to rename thing. What used to be socialized medicine is now called healthcare reform. What used to be called maniacal jihadists are now angry youths. Maybe they’ll call them peace activists or something next.
