It's possible to avoid the latest 'politically correct' terms without being an asshole. There is a difference between using a word like 'Indian' instead of 'Native American' and being intentionally offensive. I'm talking about IRL, obviously. Being an asshole online is easy. Being an asshole in real life is no fun.

I'm not advocating the use of actually offensive words. There are plenty of words I won't say, and some I won't even type... but calling every black person in the country an 'African American' is, at best, inaccurate. How is 'black' offensive?
