a) But a person should lose his/her/their/zer job over pronouns? Of course not. But they should not expect normal people to respect those pronouns. There girls and boys for official purposes. A person can call themselves what they want to but demanding that others lie about his/her gender is pretty stupid. b) But a WSJ reporter should be fired for reporting on the social media posts of that racist 25yo? I would not call what he said "racist", but if the reporter wants to report it and believes it is newsworthy, that's reporter's call. I would think that was between WSJ and its readers. But I for one am not going to stand by while you claim with a straight face that "hate isn't hate," even when someone LITERALLY says "hate." I can say with 100% accuracy that anytime I've used that word as hyperbole or descriptive context, and never saying that I hate a person. But when a friend died last week, I said "I really hate that." Now you can argue the hate was directed at a person or people. But given the context that it was pointing to a culture rather than a person it does complicate the picture: We he directing hate at a person? Or a culture because of other things? "I hate Indian food, I hate Indian politicians". Are these hate, or just saying the word "hate"? I would let this go as it is lacking necessary context. We need to be reasonable in not creating and carrying grudges. Although, I won't hate you if you aren't.
