If I say something that you find offensive, please please please tell me what it is so I can rectify it. I recognize that I cannot be 100% right about all things, and if my opinion can’t be flipped, it can be adjusted.

(Preferably in a message,…

Trust me you can be a PC as fuck you’ll still offend someone lol

I am currently in a frustrating debate on my school’s confession page trying to defend using the term “undocumented” rather than “illegal” to define a person’s immigration status in the United States.

I’m trying my best to keep my temper down, but I have nothing else to…

I’m talking about the use of offensive language. -_-

yeah but how is that offensive? if they’re not here legally, theyre here illegally.

Labelling someone as an undocumented immigrant rather than an illegal immigrant does not make the situation sound as offensive. The word “illegal” automatically has a negative connotation and it’s dehumanizing as “illegal” is often used when talking about drugs or situations like homicide and robbery. Also people who use the term “illegal immigrant” usually are right-wing extremists who have negative views on immigration. Using the term “undocumented immigrant”, you have the same meaning but there much hate/negativity attached to the term. 

All I am doing is trying to get others to not be offensive and to be respectful of other individuals rights, as well as their feelings. 

I guess I get it but if I immigrated to another country I would think that’s just what it’s called before I applied for citizenship

someone on facebook posted a picture of herself holding up a fish with the caption: “Fishy gonna die tonight.”

while I mentioned that it was fucked up, that the fish has just as much of a right to live as we do, to look up speciesism, and that we are all equal.
her and her friend started…

OH NO SOMEONE WENT FISHING
