"Indian summer (use late summer) - This term infers that Indigenous people are chronically late."
No...I believe the expression you are looking for is 'Indian Time'.
Last time I heard that expression used was by a Native man who was announcing to a bunch of Native competitors at a sports-meet what time the following day's events were going to start: "10AM...White man time! NOT Indian time!" Needless to say, everyone laughed.

Guys, I don’t know if Kanye West was blind, crazy or brave, but for him to just walk-in and insult the tribe, man… that sent the ADL on the warpath, and started a wholly American shitstorm that needed a fireman to put out. For a moment there it was like mankind united against him.
Even the Hispanics and Karen’s got in on the action. Shit heated up like an Indian summer. But I’m not concerned, Kanye is a survivor. Even if he is the black sheep of the industry, and sometimes comes off like a homeless person.
I do have to say though, he didn’t really give a trigger warning before making that “net and Yoo-hoo” joke on the Alex Jones show, which could be a black mark against him. I heard some ladies bitching about it, and one Karen, she said it was inappropriate, so if his intent was to offend, maybe he killed two birds with one stone.
But I’m not going to convict him for that.
But again, Kanye is the master of his own destiny, and it’s not like his views are tucked away in some black box somewhere, waiting for white hat hackers to uncover it. No, he just says whatever comes to mind whenever it does, I guess. He’s one of those people that just has to fill in the white space.

Oh dear, I've just committed a grave offence in my latest Substack, according to this list (and no-doubt countless others during my life, if this is anything to go by). My transgression? Use of the term 'trigger warning' (am I being offensive again by referencing it here? I honestly can't keep up!).
"Trigger warning (use content note) - The phrase can cause stress about what's to follow. Additionally, one can never know what may or may not trigger a particular person;"
Perhaps I should have added a "content note" to warn of the impending use of the term "trigger warning" (hmmm, a trigger warning for a trigger warning, the mind boggles).
And of course "one can never know what may or may not trigger [uh oh, using their own offensive term, tut tut] a particular person", that's the whole point of providing a trigger warning. Oops, I mean "content note". Are they seriously suggesting here that ANYTHING one writes could conceivably be triggering to someone?! If that's the case, you would need a "content note" before every piece of writing, EVER, thereby rendering the term entirely meaningless.

When I was an undergrad, the year I graduated I think it was, the university put up a poster in the student union building with a list of what seemed like hundreds of racial slurs. Many students used that list to 1. learn new slurs, and 2. guess which race the slur was against. Turned into a game of sorts. My guess is these people never try to imagine what the world looks like through the eyes of a 19 year old…

This might sound funny, but a little over two years ago the wokesters at my then-workplace decided to take a similar list and implement censorship in our Slack workspace based on it. Anytime anyone used one of these words, they got an automated reply scolding them and suggesting a more "appropriate" alternative. But it paid no attention to context, for example it triggered when someone mentioned the actor Dan Savage (can't say savage, you know!) It was truly awful. I objected and the long and the short of it was they made it clear it wasn't going to change and that they needed to "educate" us ignorant yahoos on correct language use. I noped out of that job shortly thereafter.

Stop making assumptions is one of my faves. Don't say convict. Isn't that a description? So do I have to say person who teaches instead of teacher? Does this apply to every descriptive term we use for people? Oh I know! I need to wait until the other person tells what I can say so if everyone does this no one will say anything. I feel safer already thanks!!

I've noticed in a cricket playing country that batsman has been banned from the language. Cricket and batsman/batsmen have been in common use in the English language since the 16th century when the game of cricket was invented. Now we've gotta say 'batter' (apparently) haha. Batter...like something you cover your fish in before you fry it...

Imagine how much different and better this world would/could be if these people spent their time working on things that could benefit mankind, instead of such inane and insane things. We've lost the bubble, and it doesn't look like we ever will get it back.

I have to say that I agree with Trigger Warning, it fucking sets me off that’s for sure, regardless of what woke BS comes after... I would like to kill all the Woke BS with one stone and I have a particular issue with Woke appropriation of my language, the English language. High time the English reclaimed their right to express themselves in their own language any way they see fit. Let’s remember that offences is taken, it is not given... But of course that doesn’t fit with the woke victimhood cult... it is really time for all these people to grow the fuck up!

I'm with them on the Karen thing. I have a number of perfectly lovely friends whose name has been somehow appropriated, which is quite unfair. But according to this, I'll have to start calling them Entitled White Woman instead - not sure how that'll go down 😂
If I were a teacher, my next class would start (and end) with a speech using every single word on that list.
I will continue using these phrases as I choose and they can come tell me to my face if they don't like it.
But they won't have the balls.
As a white unvaccinated male living in a western democracy there are now so many trivial ways future me could end up in living in a gulag.
Actually I’m surprised gulag isn’t a weaponised word.

LOL why is "wild" any less offensive than "crazy"?

These people are crazy (I mean, wild).
Those retards don't understand that quadriplegic is a medical term?
(Written by someone whose nephew was killed at Stanford Hospital and my spouse was born at Stanford Hospital.
They don't think so, but Stanford farts smell like everyone else's)
You want to really know stupid, research Stanford Indians.
