Comment on Is there a website that can tell you the new names to I guess "classify" people? Like the R word, or the N word or skin color or nationaility? For ex. Is African American still acceptable and so forth

  I got my shit handed to me because I said someone is mentally challenged.

  Not to mention that this would get most people in trouble at work regardless of the term used for “mentally challenged”.

  Intent matters most here.

    Intent SHOULD matter most here. Generally that’s true. I’ve also seen some folks go apeshit on people for using the wrong terms while the person speaking was actively trying to use the correct terms but just isn’t up-to-date. People of all groups, nationalities, genders etc can be dickheads, even when I agree with them broadly politically
