THIS.  I can't even take DCUM seriously anymore.[/quote]

I agree completely that it's ridiculous.  But there are parents out there teaching this nonsense to their kids.  That everything and anything can be taken as 'offensive' or as 'cultural appropriation'.  Where do you think the girls learned about this?[/quote]

Yep.  I was talking with my daughter and her friend the other day about a friend of mine.  Just in passing, it came up that she (my friend) is black.  My daughter's friend said, "I really don't think we should be referring to African Americans as 'black'."  It's very offensive.

OMG.  No doubt her parents have been feeding her this garbage.[/quote]

She sounds like the same ill-mannered and poorly reared twit who corrected me when speaking to an acquaintance, and it came up in conversation that my husband is black.  Her daughter corrected me--my head almost exploded.  I'm quite certain that I know how to refer to my husband and one half of my family, and I certainly don't need to be corrected by a bratty tween.

Yep.  I'm the PP.  Somewhere along the line, young people have gotten it into their heads that they, and they alone, are the arbiters of what's appropriate language and what's not.  The arrogance is astounding.  I would never have dreamed of correcting an adult when I was a child or a teen.[/quote]
