[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this list is helpful. It gives you the rationalization of why some might find a term offensive and suggests reasonable alternatives. Language and culture evolves. You're not going to be arrested or fined if you use the term, but you may cause offense you didn't intend.[/quote] This. You might care because you don't want to cause offense to another young person, or you might care because you don't want your new peers to think you are uneducated or bigoted. Either way, this helps everyone start out on equal footing. If you read this and choose to ignore it, that's not a crime but at least you will have made an informed decision to use language some of your classmates may find offensive or hurtful. [/quote]
