Yeah you can just ask "How many fingers do people have?" and if they say 5 you can just respond "Wow that's really discriminatory against people with polydactyly!"
Then ask them again "How many fingers do people have?" to see if they changed their answer, and make sure they are not allowed to say things like "high five" anymore.
I got in trouble at work for saying in a meeting "a human with 9 fingers isn't normal". Someone claimed* their kid lost a finger in an accident took offense.
*I'm not sure I believe it, because the person who complained has one of those faces that looks like she's looking for trouble.
"So I assumed you didn't take them to a hospital, to a clinic? After all, if it is normal, there would be no reason to treat that. So which is it, are they normal and you're an abusive parent who I should IMMEDIATELY call child services on, or is it an abnormal condition and you're actually somewhat human?"
That might have worked had they confronted me directly. Instead like a chickenshit they went to my boss, because in modern corporate America actually confronting the person you take issue with and hashing it out one-on-one is frowned upon.
It's all Mean Girls bullshit I won't miss when I don't have to put up with it anymore.

How dare you be so racist as to imply it's abnormal for kids to get their fingers chopped off in knife fights.
Why yes it was a "knife fight American"; how did you know?
