Do you know what "food for thought" means? It means "here is a thought-provoking idea that may cause you to reflect upon its mysteries."

"mongoloid" meant "downs syndrome" for a hundred years. For a hundred years before that it meant "asian." "idiot" used to mean "disabled" too so I ask you - why does any of this matter?

Here's your food for thought: Autism didn't hit clinical acceptance until 1980 so by the time people were being called "autistic" (correctly) the term "mongoloid" had been taboo for over 20 years. And somewhere in there, you're making a point to defend 4chan? I think? Because they're somehow innovatively offensive with their slurs so leave Britney alone or some shit?

I grew up surrounded by Indian land, passing Bureau of Indian Affairs trucks, during the rise of Indian casinos and when I moved from New Mexico to Washington people got all hot'n'bothered that I used the term "Indian" instead of "Native American" because up here? They're Native Americans, not Indians. So what did I do?

I started referring to Native Americans.

Except when I'm in Canada, where they're First Nations.

It's rare that the whole world is wrong except you, and it's rare that you can't make things a little better for everybody by trying on their terminology. 4chan? They're actively trying to turn harmless words into offensive ones - kinda like how PePe is now a nazi.

And I wouldn't be jumping down your throat other than the fact that apparently, you approve of the process.
