It's the same everywhere but.. even here, in Serbia, where there really aren't black people (really, you might see a black person maybe like , once in a few days if you're really going through the city to malls and walking on busy street, so really rarely but nobody really gives a f****) but there are Gypsies.. Who have always called themselves Gypsies but I've witnessed it evolving into an offensive word and being replaced by "Ŕoma" people. But when I say "Roma" , a Roma person would freak out and say that he is a Gypsy and not to call him that (Roma) but if some politically correct shitlib hears me saying Gipsy, I get corrected and let to know that it's offensive.. Damn, so I literally call one of my closest friends "Gipsy" and he gets offended when using this special "kind" language around him and hates the word "Roma" because he feels that he is being treated with caution and something, you know? So the minority gets offended by the name they force on society to use. They feel racism when hearing that word being used so carefully, they feel taht they stand out and are treated or looked upon different and some ppl get really insulted and I've heard it a thousand times, like "I am a Gypsy, not Roma, we are Gypsies and proud of it.!" So doesn't that forced ussage of terms actuallcontributing to these people obviously being made to stand out l, isn't that racism? When I was a kid, they were called "Roma" if used on tv, or if it's something official, and they have the Roma political party, but not in use outside of official stuff.. and ..... it was all cool.. The newspeak made it stand out more.. Also, for an Albanian, we use he word "Šiptar" and it is very offensive, you can get a lot of flak for using that word, but bro.. just look how they call their own country and nation.. Yeah .. yoh guessed it.. in Albanian it's he word they use to describe themselves... Wokeness and living in Berlin for years made me see where I am at. Because I travelled around, wandered. Took up factory jobs just to kinde meet people , the mentality and see other countries from within, not as a tourist.. And I realized that I really like and enjoy my home country.. but it is becoming what I escaped.. (meaning Berlin) and so, the only place I felt the right vibe, has strenght, people have integrity, see these things from afar and say "no thanks" is for me, Russia, where I spent a year working .. and btw, as my gf is trans, we have visited and seen many places in Russia, never had a problem because of her and you know why? They don't care and don't want to know.. they just don't care if you sck d/$k or eat pssy.. they don't want tk know bcs it's your personal thing and if you keep it that way, you'll have no problem whatsoever.. If you were to harass and assault people to use some pronouns and demand respect because you put a dress on, you're getting smacked in the face. And I agree, respect is earned, not forced upon people ... So you realize that ... People, trust me on this one, the West is a dictatorship... call it democracy but what were you asked about and was your opinion heard ever on anything? On any war or some other money launderibg scheme or the censorship . .. no. That's why you don't even know that the NSA took over the internet , literally overnight WHat I experienced j Russia, still the freedom and safety, due to collective rejection of wokeness, made me, the, a 33 year old guy, a cknstruction worker now, to enroll into University, Slavic Studies, so I learn Slavistics .. I have much Russian, Ukrainian, Ruthenian lang. (already know Slovak, Czech alongside Hungarian and German) So seeing it coming to Serbia made me study Russian so I can go when it's time. Also, their methods and speech made me research propaganda and I want to do my Master's in Communicology. That's a nice word for propaganda .. anyway, , like the NSA since today controls the internet in the US, I'm gonna watch how worse it gets now, I've just listened to the new CEO of NPR and it's so crazy. She literally said that journalists often go digging for the truth but that's not what they should be focused on, said that misinformation is a problem and we have to turn to the government to help us determine what's true and what's false, she said that currently, the biggest obstacle for "us" is the 1st ammendment. So, they also don't use the word "censor"when referring to themselves (because it's just doublespeak, becajse Putin censors and every "New Htlr" they have on their sight (except for Israel, they get a pass (like you wouldn't charge the owner of a Café you work in) There is just one more thing I'll add, very important .. I got licked out of my FB account for spreading hateful content by a "dangerous individual" . Namely I posted a investigative journalism piece by Kit Klerenberg about factual evidence he found involvement of the CIA in creating IsIs. How were weapons were channeled through Libya to the Islamic state after they wrecked Lybia for wanting to move oil away from the Dollar and Euro and I've seen it, like, Isis with tg44 rifles which my dad had as a Yugoslav paratrooper, whjch we took from the nzis and later gave it to Libya.. So Kit, after this piece, an investigative journalist, for presenting facts , was deemed a" dangerous person" and if you spread some of his reporting you are engaged in hate crime.. So FB is helping a terrorist organization by doing this. It is all in the open qnd people see it but the whole thing is so just made up that it is a perfect mechanism. You raise a real issue and get called "conspiracy theorist" and "nut", and they don't have to do much, the system an culture does it by themselves. Trust me, Russia is more free than you think but they have different views on things which is cool if you adapt to the culture you come into instead of vice versa. Peace out

@@ArthurB26 your agreeing with him. Wooly is pointing out flaw in that line of thinking. He’s sayin they don’t want us to use the term minority bc these groups they are trying to “protect” or “empower” are no longer the minority in Canada when historically they once were minorities. Now thru time their populations have grown and become the majority. That is why these institutions are trying to change the term. They want the same groups to sound helpless but can no longer call them minorities bc not accurate. Instead? Let’s say equity-deserving. Very smart/sneaky of them. The use of language is very powerful and can easily impart ideology just thru pushing of some words and limiting of others.

But Metatron also used this word for SLAVs adn directly calls it descriptive instead. It's not descriptive, Slavic Rus established a civic state to escape being called "just a gas station" and things like that, JUST forced labor. TWO WORDS that actualy descirbe your "slavery" without using racism. Karel Čapek was a Czech writer who also invented ONE word for forced labor, "robota". The word "slav" comes from defining a people MEANT to be treated like robots, and thanks to having the word robot, we could just call robotic things robotic and human beings human. USA can't even call "Americans" a continental demonym, or Asians, their current Apple-Amazon forced labor, as anything by a race, of lesser humans. The big talking point is if AI art will take the jobs, that previously would be forced on cheap asian labor like animation. Because Japanese people whose intelligence USA calls artificial, already HAD a robot uprising in making their own "anime" and started resembling humans in US view. The Ghost in the Shell.

That's just among unhinged liberal idiots, usually white people pretending to be talking for black people. But I will say, simply being called "Yo white guy!" Would be annoying. Can't speak of how much more or less annoying than some one black being called, "Yo black guy!" It's somewhat disrespectful, though can be understandable if someone is trying to call for you, and your skin color is the most notably different feature about you then the rest of the guys around you. Preferably, most people would like to be called by their name, especially if you know their name. Yet, even there, some people don't even like their name. So maybe for some, "Yo black dude!" would be preferable than, say, being called Peewee, because that's what your parents named you after because they liked Peewee's Playhouse, and named you before the whole getting caught wanking it in a porn theater incident.

Speaking as a Canadian lawyer who practiced immigration and refugee law for years, classifying "foreigner" or "illegal alien" as offensive terms to be replaced by "refugee", "newcomer" or "international person" is actually very deliberate. It is highly politicized long-term social engineering propaganda. It is part of an attempt to make any discussion about taking effective government action against people from abroad who enter and live in Canada illegally a taboo subject in our political discourse. A "refugee" is someone who has made a formal application for refugee status and has had it reviewed and approved by an Immigration and Refugee Board tribunal. Until then they are a "refugee claimant". Once approved, a refugee may apply for and automatically receive permanent legal status in Canada as a "permanent resident" or "PR" for short. After a number of years, the PR may then apply to become a "citizen". These are all official terms. A person from a foreign country may also enter the country legally as a "temporary resident" (again an official term). They may enter on a visitor visa as a visitor or tourist, on a work visa as a foreign worker (and "foreign worker" is the official government designation for them - NOT "international worker"), or on a student visa as an international student (again the official designation). All these people may be described as "newcomers" - and are called just that in many official government suppoer programs. Again, "newcomer" very much implies (or used to) someone with a legal status in Canada and therefore a legal right to be here. A person who either enters the country illegally or enters fraudulently on a temporary visa and then never leaves is NOT a "refugee", "newcomer" or "international person". They are a person from a foreign country (i.e. a "foreigner") who is in the country illegally and therefore is an "illegal alien". Period. Trying to force university students writing on Political Studies issues, for example, to discuss immigration issues without being allowed to refer to them as such is a deliberate choice by the university.

"equity deserving group" would mean a disadvantaged group that require an extra help from the authorities, I'm pretty sure not all groups deserve equity, however "minority" and "equity deserving group" have 2 very different meanings, asking to replace one by the other is actively pushing an agenda. For example, the 1% richest people are a minority, but I'm pretty sure most of them don't require equity, they already have it (badum tsss... explanation of the joke: equity in finance it's pretty much all the wealth that is not cash, like stocks or real estate).

It is much more than this. The purpose of propaganda, at least in its late stage form, is not to inform you, or deceive you or even manipulate you. It's to humiliate you. Its purpose is to be so outlandish, so ridiculous and so blatantly untrue and yet totally undeniable in order to reinforce the power of the state. The Soviets referred to this as 'hyperrealism'. That is-the state of everyone saying things that are completely false and that they know to be false-but which they cannot deny. The supermarket shelves are empty and bread lines stretch around the corner, but the newspapers report that the year's agricultural quotas have been exceeded once again. And then everyone is forced to repeat this lie and thus they become complicit in it. It is a system of total social humiliation and control, theorized in the aftermath of the October revolution by those who wanted to spread a communist utopia throughout the world and today made into a weapon by the world's economic powers in search of control over the masses, who take advantage of the work of these useful idiots.

Real world newspeak primary characteristic: words and terms that include their own interpretation. For example "newcomer" or "refugee" instead of the neutral word foreign. Newcomer self contained interpretation: You are oldcomer, they are newcomer, this is an equalization, so they have right to come like your ancestors come from other land (like all human groups). Conclusion, your population don't have right to have a migration politic based on your population interests, because there are not nationals and foreigners that can become nationals through nationality acquisition, there are oldcomers and newcomers. Refugee self contained interpretation: Because this is proposed as alternative to foreigner, doesn't matter if this reflect the truth, don't matter that the person is from a country in war or anything like that, the aim is that if you don't agree with open frontiers you are against offering refuge so you are morally bad. You can do this exercise with every newspeak word. All of them contain an interpretation, none of them are neutral just words, all of them are political devices.

I've literally seen Asian immigrants to the USA name their shops things like "Oriental Imports." It's another one that's archaic but not really offensive. If I remember correctly, oriental just means Eastern, and Occidental means western. You see it in plant scientific names, like tradescantia occidentalis, the Western Spiderwort, or Hyacinthus Orientalis ( Eastern Hyacinth), or Helleborus Orientalis (Eastern Hellebore)

I am an old retired guy. I have witnessed polite ways of referring to various minority groups change during my life. It can frankly be difficult for some older people to keep track of changes in terminology. Thus, some of us default to using those polite terms that were common when we were young without having any bad intent. My personal opinion is that we spend too much time and effort changing polite terms for minority groups. I think we do this because it is an easy way of convincing ourselves that we are making positive changes while failing to address the underlying issues. It is a lot like covering decaying walls with new wallpaper. Regarding the word “ghetto”, my grandparents were Italian immigrants to the U.S. My father was born and raised in an Italian ghetto. My father and his parents referred to it as an “Italian ghetto”. Changing the terminology does nothing but obscure the historical reality of where they lived so that modern people can feel better.

I'm old enough to remember the birth of Political Correctness in the late 70s early 80s. Political correctness just referred to personal social interactions where a person, typically a white person would say something that was innocent to a black person, but could be taken the wrong way. For example, I recall making a joke to a group of people about me being the token man at an all female event. However, there was a black woman in the group I was talking to. After I said it, I cringed,....because "token" was often referred to black people. That was all Political Correctness was at the time. Social engineering to control speech in personal conversations. Now, it's controlling all of society, but the principles are the same.

Cheers from France mate! 🍻 PS: I've seen some people call anyone black African-American without thinking. A black American should be called American, because he is. Unless you call a white American European-American. It would be really weird to me to be referred as a African-European. I'm French with a black Dad and a white Mom, which makes it already frustrating when people call me African. It excludes half of my genes, and ignores the fact I've never stepped foot in Africa.

@@Wulfyr That's why education has failed. Indigenous doesn't refer to any specific ethnic group. It refers to the oldest known group living in a region. Anyone can be indigenous as long as their ethnic group has the oldest or shared history in the region. This is the reason we are playing language games the past decade, because language has completely been dropped by the recent generations.

To refer to European descended peoples as "white" in lowercase serves to undermine a distinct identity to Whites and facilitate an inferior view of their culture in lieu of their demographic replacement. In other words to call European peoples "white" is to lay the groundwork for their genocide.

I graduated from a Canadian University--with a literature degree, so I got a front row seat to the insanity. First uni I attended, I was accused of having internalized misogyny for something I said in class. (I forget what it was, but there you go.) Second go around, we had PCT and CRT out the wazoo. I managed to graduate with an associates degree and fled to teach abroad (China). Returned to complete my degree so I could take a masters. THINGS HAD GOTTEN WORSE. So, when I was invited to study a masters, I just kinda faded and crept out with my Honours. I am proud of my work in my final year, but I can't get a Masters now because I can't afford to attend an American university... and Canadian universities and their "literature" master's degrees courses are watered down explorations in anthropology, poli-sci, and sociology courses for dumb people.

Aside from mandating the use of language (as if that is not authoritarian and Orwellian enough), my biggest problem with these sorts of language policing edicts is the fact that they are intentionally made to obfuscate language. This is intentionally depriving meaning from words and intentionally impoverishing vocabulary in a never ending cycle of offense, thinking that somehow the offense will go away if we infuse other words with the offensive meaning we don't like... until inevitably, words need to be replaced again later. It is so grotesquely anti-intellectual in nature and so grotesquely pointless that it is insulting and frankly offensive to see such things.

When I worked in the UK for a time, sometimes people tried to guess my accent. It was hard because it's a small language group and my accent was a weird mixture as I learned most of my English while living in the USA for a time. Once a slightly drunk guy asked me, as a part of a polite conversation, where I'm from. His a bit more drunk wife, who heard him ask me, started shouting at him that he is being racist towards me. He tried to explain to her he is just asking, I tried to explain to her that thet he is just asking and there is absolutely nothing wrong with that question... Nope, no chance. She yelled at us for being ignorant and I became somehow both a victim and a cause of racism against me. Both at the same time. All of us were the same race, by the way, white Europeans.

Human beings are hard-wired for tribalism, grouping ourselves into like in-groups and casting ourselves adversarially against out-groups. Intersectionality's intent is to group various in-groups against common enemies, hence why everything bad is an example of "white supremacy," including Asian dominance in academic and socio-economic performance, the inconvenience of Jews as a consistently over-performing minority group, the out-performance of recent African immigrants over African-Americans whose families have been in the US for generations, etc.

That's not the reason... It's the same reason we stopped calling it"climate change" and use the longer "anthropomorphic climate change" in science communication now... The original wasn't conveying the actual object of study. In the "climate change" case the phrase was creating confusion with the same nomenclature in glaciology which referres to the natural change of the earth's climate which occurs naturally during hundreds of thousands of years. In this case the word "minorities" was redefined for accuracy (attaching the meaning to the ability population has to exert power) some odd 30-40 years ago and means "the groups of people with less power in society to defend their beliefs or their dignity" which are often migrants or from a population with a different phenotype than those considered the "typical inhabitant" in the scientific community. this was PRECISELY because the number of people, while a factor, may not always apply... Take the time of civil war... Slaves were 4x more numerous than slavers and yet those oppressed were obviously the slaves. This means that the words directly connected to the scientific description of "minority" like "racism" or "xenophobia" gained a new dimension that was lacking so far. This can then be studied in terms of geographic area, country or worldwide which has caused a lot of confusion... For instance... The idea that Africans cant be racist... In the general meaning of the word or if you're studying the phenomenon exclusively from a local perspective and the population suffering violence has no means to fight back or protect their rights they can absolutely be but if you're using the scientific definition and viewing it from a global perspective they cannot... because they are, by definition, not powerful enough to exert global power over the cultures or populations claiming to be under attack (economically, politically or military the major powers are all in the west) it would be the geopolitic equivalent of someone claiming another was being aggressive after having a gun pointed at them for hours... Anyway... I digress... My point is... The nomenclature used has had several proposals to change it precisely because it wasn't being understood in all it's connotations not because there's a major political conspiracy behind it.

⁠@@hbjshowslopperwell in a backwards way, they’re not wrong, black people are often given extreme privilege in universities nowadays, they _do_ deserve equal treatment and they don’t get it, they get _special_ treatment. So surely ‘equity deserving groups’ in the context of universities would mean good ol’ whiteboys like myself? I’m not one of those dudes who cries that I’m so oppressed as a poor white male, I’m not, but I’m definitely severely disadvantaged when it comes to getting scholarships and financial aid. Anecdotal but it’s all I have: I graduated top 10 in my class in high school (I say ‘top 10’, I was exactly 10 lol) with several AP credits, I was offered significantly less money than a black friend who, while not stupid by any means, was much less academically _and_ extracurricularly successful as I had been. Not to mention having an SAT score literally over 300 points higher than his. His score was above average, mine was just amongst the 98th percentile. He’s a smart guy, he belongs in a university and is more than capable of succeeding, WITHOUT special treatment. Granted, it was not an offer made by the same exact school, he didn’t apply to the same schools I did, but one comparable in tuition price and acceptance rates. Even he knows this is bs lmao, he’s actually wayyy more ‘Right wing’ than I am. And I’m not using a ‘I have black friends’ defense, people can think I’m racist all they want idrgaf, one of my best friends truly is black and I am a first hand witness to the special treatment he receives. I’m not ‘jealous’ of him, I love him, I want the best for him, but even he knows what’s best for him is not handouts because of the color of his skin. He’s more than capable of success on his own and always has been.
