Noticed the word "Eskimo" was awkwardly censored in Nat King Cole's "Chestnuts Roasting" Christmas song, this is the screed I got as a reply when I asked the radio station why they did it (Stingray Radio) (media.communities.win)

This is a long standing movement of their attack on language to keep themselves relevant, along with subverting it generally.

  • Negro is not a slur
  • Tranny is not a slur
  • BIPOC is not a slur (very recent change in UK)
  • Retard is not a slur

Also, dumb, idiot, and retard are all on the exact same euphemism treadmill.

There was a real reddit moment I had with a Bri'ish redditor that chided me for "little people", informing me that on their side of the ocean the PC term is "midget"

It is the direct opposite in the States.

Ted Kaczynski was absolutely correct about shitlibs and then some.

Wait, they're making their own made up term (BIPOC) into a slur now?

They were trying to. It was on a Lotus Eater's podcast where they covered that BIPOC was somehow racist or racially inappropriate. But they tried to change it to something like UKMHGMR and it didn't take off.

It sounds like a Welsh word.

Well of course, it has 7 too many consonants.

It's both funny and sad how our progressive friends keep fighting against their own creations. It reminds me of the "cancel gender" horseshit. You're the ones who came up with the idea.

They know, it's what gives them justification for further action.

They'll never run out of problems to solve if they keep making new ones. So, side effects are good. And if there are no side effects, make them by claiming that the results are now bad for some reason.
