How much of that is arbitrary? Notice that “people of color” is de rigeur (or was, maybe it’s not anymore?) but “colored people” has lost its’ status? One of the astonishing features of the modern soviet, er, “political correctness” laden-society is the fact that the underlying intent of action or words has no meaning or bearing. This also holds largely true in the litigation/law arena.
We are being trained..not to get along, but to fear one another on the political plane. The reality on the ground is much much different.
What happens if the American experiment of Freedom for all actually works? Who would benefit by trying to undermine it?
