"I personally find the word 'alien' offensive when applied to individuals, especially to children," said Sen. Frederica Wilson, D-Miami.
Sorry you don't get to decide.
Actually, if she's not an 'alien', and no one calls her an alien, then she doesn't get to choose either.
But even so, I wouldn't use that word around her, or to her. That's no skin off my back, who cares?
That's not a common feeling tho, and I bet it isn't even really true for her. I bet she has another agenda.
But tell me, what's the big deal? If someone is truly offended by the word 'ball', then I won't use it round them. No skin off my back.
