*Now THIS should spark some interesting dialogue. A recent PEW Research Center study shows Black folks overall think people should be more careful with the language they use, so to not offend people. 59%) of the general population (all races) say ‘too many people are easily offended these days over the language that others use,’ according to Hannah Fingerhut on behalf of PEW.
“Fewer (39%) think ‘people need to be more careful about the language they use to avoid offending people with different backgrounds.’
But in the race breakdown, Fingerhut writes…
“Among blacks, 67% say people should be more careful with language to avoid offending people of different backgrounds, while just 30% say too many people are easily offended by language these days.
Just so you know, I’m with the 30%.
Among whites, opinions are reversed: 67% say too many are easily offended, compared with 32% who think more care should be taken to not offend others. . . .”
Within the Hispanic population, 49 percent say people should be more careful and 47 percent believe too many are easily offended.
