@roamer_1 I generally agree. If something was intended as an insult, it usually had cusswords wrapped aorund it. Some terms we just didn't use. For instance (and this is 60 years ago), the terms 'colored', 'darky', and 'Negro' were considered acceptable descriptions in polite conversation, although "Negro" was the one considered most acceptable as a racial descriptor. We didn't use "black" so much, because the folks there who would be considered such today reqally varied from high yellow Wesorts to folks who were, indeed, of coal black complexion. Even the descriptions on Police radios characterized the general racial group by intensity of their melanin, by 'light', 'medium', and 'dark".
There were a host of other terms which were intended to be demeaning to downright insults which I will save the Mods the trouble of excising from this post, and those were just terms that got you kicked out of the Parlor, and my mother would have taken a switch to my backside over if she had ever heard me using them.
Sadly, the perpetually offended Liberals have ensured that folks of any stripe feel either stupid or demeaned if they aren't as perpetually offended as the liberals are. Hence sports teams which had names like "Fighting Sioux" have been coerced to change those names and abandon mascots images which were not demeaning to a warrior band, because there is always one person to prop up in front of the microphone as a poster child to put a face on the affront done to liberal sensibilities--and if there isn't, they'll dye their hair, and fudge the skin tone in the images used, and have someone who 'identifies' as a member of the group, from Rachel Dolezal to Fauxcahontas.
Keep in mind, though, the Liberals want grievances, they thrive on the misery, real or imagined, or just ginned up, of others. THey are never so miserable as when everyone is happy.
