Give it 10 years and “justice-involved youth” will be a pejorative. These Libs never seem to get that its not the label that creates the negative view of the people, its the peoples’ actions. A rose by any other name . . . . .

#WordsMatter LOL

Words matter, except to leftists. They feeeeeel that euphemisms will disorient and misdirect people away from the clear meaning of things.

They are mistaken.

“These Libs never seem to get that its not the label that creates the negative view of the people, its the peoples’ actions.”

I would also add, that by changing the negative descriptive language or labels to force people to try to be more politically correct only serves to raise the ire of those being coerced into using that language. A good example of this is ‘illegal alien’ vs. ‘undocumented immigrant’.
