Absolutely no one is truly offended by these words. The cries of offense and "harm" are just the tools used by the cultists to intimidate others into giving them what they want: Power.
Power over the institutions and power over the culture. Power over you, so that you are so uncertain of the ever-changing rules that you are totally dependent upon the commisar-bishops of the cult to tell you what to think.
These people are liars and frauds. They are evil. They will keep doing this until they are forced to stop.
I feel like if we treated these people like you do a pouting toddler things would be better. Let the child throw a tantrum and once they see you aren’t paying attention they’ll move on.
I would agree with that if it was just angry toddlers, and adults were still in charge.
Unfortunately, the adults at most institutions (especially universities) have ceded authority to their DEI departments, which are run by the grown up version of these toddlers. They are the commissars of The Party, the bishops of the parish. They have control over the institutions, and they are making the rules.
They will continue relentlessly pushing their ideology into every institution they control, and they'll try to take over or destroy any institution they do not control.
We're long past the "ignore them and they'll go away" stage. We're at the Stage 4 metastatic cancer phase.
The more people understand this, the better. Literally none of this has to do with fighting racism. It's the justification, but it's not the reason. The reason, as you say, is power.
I would tell anyone offended that maybe they should evaluate their lives if they are so disturbed by an innocuous word

Ok that’s a good point. I remember thinking in 2010 that the SJWs in college would get a rude awakening from real life when they got out of college
