Picture the police arriving at the scene of a crime and interviewing the victim:
"Can you describe your assailant?"
No, actually, that would be incredibly judgmental of me.
"Was he white or black?"
What a racist suggestion - sexist too. Are you inferring that a woman would lack sufficient physical prowess to be a successful criminal?
"What was he wearing?"
What's this about clothes, are you drawing some sort of correlation from wardrobe, socioeconomic status, and the predilection towards criminality? Scandalous! I'll sue!
Language would not be much use if it was colorless, genderless, odorless, and completely tasteful, with taste defined by the latest law enacted. > Visit a trailer park family Danny Yee's Book Reviews: A collection of five hundred book reviews, covering all kinds of books> Brain Activity is Visibly Altered by sleep deprivation (with photos)>
