Political correctness run amok -- Take XVII

The Library of Congress (which, IMHO, should be insulated against and isolated from politics) has caved in under pressure from idiots and will phase out use of the terms "alien" and "illegal alien."

So how will ordinary people, who still call illegal aliens "illegal aliens," ever find information about such things as illegal aliens?

“We call on both politicians and media outlets to follow the precedent set by the Library of Congress,” Dennise Hernandez, Co­Director of CoFIRED, said in a statement. “It is way past time that we all recognize that referring to immigrants as “illegal” is an offensive, dehumanizing term and that there is no excuse to continue using it.”

In the new politithink, then, calling anything what it is becomes "offensive." Is calling a bank robber a bank robber offensive? So what if an illegal alien is offended at being called an illegal alien? He or she isn't half as offended as real Americans are offended by their very presence here.

Note the apparent ethnicity implied by the name of the leader of this mob group. This country is doomed.

Get inside their ooda loop...start calling them 'criminal aliens' when that gets banned, start using 'crimigrants', then 'gimmegrants'...
No reason to not beat them at their own game while having fun doing it.

Border criminals.  Perpetrator-Americans.

Control the language, control the culture.

Works the other way around, too, I see.

Say, what if the mother ship from Arcturus VII lands and a bunch of Arcturians step out and start raying the place up with their disintegrating guns.  What do we call them?

Undocumented invaders?

How unkind of us.

Brimic: "crimigrants"  <like
