Are you kidding right now? She is talking about how SN athletes get sad when people look at them weirdly and make comments. How is that related to what you said?Well, let’s flip it around another way.
Where does it start and where does it stop?
Who gets to decide what’s offensive and what’s not?
Where’s the rules of engagement, so to speak?
Another person in the exact same situation may not be offended by the word or phrase which you find offensive.
Where’s the list of words I can no longer use? More importantly, is it still ok to use the “R word” when I’m at work and looking at a patient who has that as a diagnosis on their medical record?
What adjectives are still acceptable? Fat? Calorically sufficient?
How many letters are there now in alternative lifestyles? LGBTQABCDEFHIJKMNOPRSUVWXYZ???
I’m just looking for a general guide because God knows you don’t want to offend ANYONE in today’s world.
Oops, I said “God” I’m sure that offended someone too.
I get it. Everybody in 2017 is offended. But here, we are talking about straight up disrespect to kids who are different. We are not talking about culture appropriation or a bad taste Gigi Gorgeous video. It is face to face disrespect. There is a difference.
Would you go to the SN kids' face and ask why they are offended? Why they are sad? Would you say that's because they are soft as a roll of Charmin?
