Do you think it’s too mean?
I mean I use it as a joke because in reality, they are stuck way back in an earlier human epoch.
I know because I live with them.
Now, if that sounds racist it is not my intent but I have been a key (close up) observer of the conflict for decades and at some point, one must speak the truth.
This is a people not yet ripe for Democracy, Western values, Liberal exchange of views, tolerance and above all, a lack of the concept of “compromise”.
That is why I use that term.
No, I don’t think it’s mean, and I understand the point. I just think it’s trying to hard: “Look how clever I’m being. Tee-hee, look at me being clever!” and therefore, does not work as a rhetorical device.
