This reminds me of the professor at USC who got suspended, b/c he a Chinese word he was explaining, nei ge, sounds like N-word in English.

There were streamers on Twitch...Chinese streamers...getting banned for saying "na ge", because, you know, speaking your native language is racist to other people.

bubbaturboWe used those paper pads that sat on an easel up in front of the classroom-called flip charts until somebody decided it was offensive. Also had to change the call sign of a simulation scenario aircraft from SLAG42 because apparently SLAG is offensive somewhere in Asia.

SigmundMore lunacy from the FAA, which is now holding a virtual "Inclusive Language Summit."
This is NOT from the Babylon Bee:
"
The FAA is hosting a virtual Inclusive Language Summit to present and discuss recommendations the Agency has received that promote the institution of inclusive language throughout the FAA. The Summit will provide a platform for the public to comment and provide additional recommendations to the FAA as it develops an enterprise-wide initiative to adopt language that is both gender-neutral and inclusive. In the spirit of bringing all voices to the conversation, the FAA seeks participation from all members of the public; stakeholders in public agencies; academia; not-for profit institutions; individuals working in the area of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility (DEIA); and the aerospace community. Input from a diverse audience will assist the FAA in developing policies, procedures and plans for implementation of terminology that is inclusive in nature in all aspects of FAA governance and oversight as well as in the international context under FAA's global leadership..."

The new acronym ACFR sounds like 'aquifier' and so could be offensive to water-starved marginalized victims of oppression in globally-warmed nations California who can only dream of aquifiers.
