Politico's updated style guide includes a list of banned words and phrases that are off-limits for their writers to use.

[Bon of Babble]

Mankind

Man-made

Manhunt

Crack the whip: unacceptable because of origins in slavery

Waiter or waitress: server should be used instead

Biological gender, biological sex, biological woman, biological female, biological man, or biological male

Illegal immigrant or illegal alien

Cake walk: "originated during slavery" and thus perpetuates "racist motifs"

In reference to illegal migration: onslaught, tidal wave, flood, inundation, surge, invasion, army, march, sneak and stealth

Anchor baby

Chain migration: this is a term used by "immigration hard-liners"

Peanut gallery: "the cheapest seats often occupied by

Black people and people with low incomes"

Third-world countries: too "derogatory"

[Bon of Babble]

It covers just about everything “woke”

“Politico’s guide mandates a capital B when writing ‘black,’ but, Unlike Black, ‘white’ should not be capitalized in any instances.”

Incredibly, Politico was just sold for $1 billion dollars.

Want some more? “Pro-choice” is frowned upon in favor of “abortion rights supporter,” and (of course) “pro-life” is outlawed, with “anti-abortion” taking its place. “Late-term abortion” is also a no-no; reporters are told to use “abortion later in pregnancy.”

[PeterPrinciple]

Politico’s guide mandates a capital B when writing “black,” but, “Unlike Black, white should not be capitalized in any instances.”

[PeterPrinciple]

You might not believe me, but this woke propagandist dumpster fire of an organization was just sold for OVER $1 BILLION.

> Waiter or waitress: server should be used instead

How about server dude? Or would that be racist?

[Bon of Babble]

Figures. Some billionaire always comes forward to bail out these “woke” media outlets.

[No name given]

So much for free speech. I get that Politico is a private company, but I can see why people would want to quit.

[No name given]

Some people shouldn’t even bother getting out of bed in the morning.

[Organic Panic]

How are they going to reconcile “MANmade global warming?”

Third-world countries: too "derogatory"

~~~

I kinda get the idea that phrases rooted in slavery have a tainted past, even if the people who use them now have zero bad intent when using them.

With that aside, banning "Third-world" because someone constrews it as derogatory is a perfect example of how this is all really THOUGHT CONTROL through language.

For a looong time classifying nations level of economic development as first through third world was nothing more than a convenient ordinal designation. Of course, we don't like classifications at all in this day and age (unless leftists do it for propaganda purposes) because the thought police want to make sure everyone walks around like robots taking orders from the supreme authority without making any judgements, assessments, or self guidance.

“Unlike Black, white should not be capitalized in any instances.”

Not even when ‘white’ begins a sentence? Perhaps we should use it as a mark of honor. There are a handful of families in Britain whose last names begin with ff for example ffoulkes, the F not being capitalized.

>> Unlike Black, ‘white’ should not be capitalized in any instances.”

What if it’s the first word of a sentence?

[ConservativeInPA]

Fight back using archaic words when possible. For instance, don’t use illegal immigrant/alien, use wetback. Don’t use black/African-America, use negro. Write and talk the way you grew up.

The WEF is composed of Billionaires. Draw your own conclusion from that as to who financed the transactions.

[jpp113]

They can cram their suggestions right up their stretched out anuses. Because that is all this tripe is, leftist suggestions and it carries no legal bearing. Use whatever words you choose to use, you are not beholden to the nutbags.

[tomkat]

Good, I didn't see 'wetback' in there   :-)
