[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Probably about the same insensitivity as the poster who used the term "slave driver" earlier this week to describe their demanding boss. It's just a casual usage that has been thrown around for so long that to people who've heard it their whole lives it just sort of blended in. And then recently our ears/eyes/sensitivities have been heightened to its potential to offend. Those who actively wish not to will take note and not use those phrases when they can choose otherwise. I won't assume that you are trying to offend if you continue to use them. But some people might. And if that bothers you for people to think you are deliberately culturally insensitive then you might want to remove those terms from your own usage.[/quote] I find it very insensitive that you used the phrase, "people who've heard it their whole lives." This is a clear reference to age. You might want to cull your own ageist remarks lest you offend someone else. [/quote]
