    You were correct, this is quite an interesting read for me! Might actually send it along to some of my friends who work full time in D&I,

    As for myself, I actually don’t suffix persons purely because I think folks works better

    Congressfolks, postfolks, policefolks, milkfolks, doesn’t just neutral the name, it also feels like it makes them less hierarchical, folk carries a more friendly connotation as a suffix IMHO, in English it’s normally used to refer to your parents or grandparents, compared to person or people which feels more sterile and official sounding in comparison.

      Sorry to see you are getting a bunch of hate but linguistic relativity is happening in real time as people angrily reply to you or people try to shout louder that they don’t want their language to change for the sake of inclusivity. Literally watching people live in denial and choosing to ignore that reality is changing around them is morbidly fascinating. This is a phenomena that transcends language, every fiber of humanity is diametrically opposed within itself. Some people want radical change and the possibility of prosperity for the majority and the other people want things to remain the same and within their control.

      Like watching the bow burst on a sinking ship and losing yourself in the majesty and patterns within the utter destruction and chaos.

        I think it’s just anti-woke losers having a panic attack

        They cling to the accusation of hypocrisy about cultural relativism so people who actually hold diverse cultures to the same D&I standards scare the shit out of them

        They have nothing but made up arguments and things that endanger those arguments makadem real hekkin’ amgy

          You talk a lot, but we’re having a discussion in english about how the whole hispanic community should follow USA’s woke values because some french people say so while glorificating “Linguistic relativity”, aka. “screw languages i don’t understand”. And I’m a loser for defending my language.

          Come back when you know what you’re talking about.

            Nuestro lengua es un lengua de noestros concadores. Los conquistadors de Espania. No es un lengua de Mexico como Azteca o Maya.

              Eso es mucho texto para alguien que no sabe distiguir entre un sustantivo y un adjetivo.

              Edit: Sorry, forgot to translate to freedom: “TL;DR”

              Damn talk 'bout being butthurt 👀

                You edited for a joke but not to correct the spelling of distinguir while arguing about grammar. Class act, also your Spanish reads like translated text.

                  …Are you done bitching and telling me how to speak my language? Now I know less about my mother tongue because I mistyped a word. Yeah, pretty solid argument right here.

                  If that’s all you can say I guess I’m done here already
