Standford's updated their
Elimination of Harmful Language Initiative ie. their list of bad words and people have thoughts.
Some choice bits include that
American is now inappropriate (But
Latinx should be used), the words
He and
She shouldn't be used with
They as the preference, and it's wrong to use the phrase
Preferred Pronouns because that implies there's any preference or choice involved. Also,
Karen is now a slur and should be replaced with
entitled White Woman (Bwuh?), it's a slur because it demeans a person based on their behavior. No really, that's what it says.
There's tons more in there ranging from
Philippine Islands (you have to call it the
Philippines, I have no idea why that matters but they're claiming it's colonialist to call them islands) to the word
Submit (use
process instead even though that makes no sense) being a slur because it implies one person may have authority over another.
