Ed Note: How much does our everyday language have historical bias against those of color, those with disabilities or those with a different sex identity. At first glance this list (click of the link below) looks over-the-top, but try reflecting on some of them and see how much our everyday language can disrespect those different from ourselves (but please still call me grandfather!).
The University of Washington Information Technology department released an “inclusive language guide” that lists a number of “problematic words” that are “racist,” “sexist,” “ageist,” or “homophobic.” According to the guide, words such as “grandfather,” “housekeeping,” “minority,” “ninja,” and “lame” are considered “problematic words.”
