instead of "immigrant" consider using "person who has immigrated"

Because turning one word into four, while still using the root word immigrate is super efficient and promotes clarity in writing. Tards.

I'm told, under good authority, that they stole their entire catalog from a more talented Musician of Color. So it's cool.

Just like how saying People of Color is apparently better than saying Colored People. Fucking insane Newspeak bullshit.

See, I just call them gingers. Not only does it piss off dislexic people who think I'm using racist wording, but it also confuses the hell out of the police when I tell them who stole my hubcaps for the fifth time.

Please explain how 'latinx' is any better than 'hispanic' under the context the list provided.

We all know the answer but just more proof that they have zero consistency and two sets of standards.

'Latinx' shows submission to Globohomo. 'Hispanic' does not.

That's the only difference.

Not the only difference. Hispanic could refer to white Spaniards or Portuguese, and it's offensive to leftoids to put white people in the same category as 'historically marginalized groups'.

Also it is composed of "his", which is a problematic word, and "panic" which appears without a trigger warning.

Hispanic could refer to white Spaniards or Portuguese

It only refers to their settled descendants in the Americas.

Why is "circle the wagons" harmful? Do native americans object to it?

Also hispanic? What is going on with this lists.

They don’t want people to remember it was a war not a genocide where the noble savages were peace loving tribes attacked by evil whitey

When I hear circle the wagons I can’t help remembering that scene from Blazing Saddles where they are in the wagon train.

But seriously this phrase has been around a very long time.

Who?

Middle-class white women will decide what Native Americans get to object to, thank you very much. Who do these coloreds think they are, anyway - that they have the right to determine what is objectionable?

Those people left CA long ago. Those who still remain are in no positions of power or influence.

90% of WWII coverage in school, if my own experience is anything to go on, is about Der Hebesgassen. 80% of the actual history class coverage, plus a "holocaust survivor" book a year in the English/Lit class.

I think at least one of the ones I was compelled to read was actually written by someone who was only a 'survivor' in the sense they were alive while it was happening, but were never in any real danger.

Don't use "American" as it gives the impression that the USA is the only/main country in America. Use US Citizen instead.

Yeah, because the USA are the only united states in the world, right?

Reminding you that this retardation is coming from fucking Stanford University!

Also: "LatinX"

Latinx is a term affluent English speaking white privileged feminist academia imposes on dispossessed largely migrant vulnerable Spanish speaking minorities.

It is Anglo-centric linguistic imperialism, cultural genocide and ethnic erasure violence.
