These topics can be extremely sexist and racist if not handled with extreme care. This is something this bot seems incapable of doing as it doesn't understand the nuance of language or just powerful and harmful words can be. I'm literally shaking right now just thinking about it. I understand this bot is meant to be a joke but if someone isn't laughing because they're offended then it isn't a joke; it's internalized whiteness and literally hate speech.

Please give examples of things you find offensive in "studies" and "occupations"

Also, what is "internalized whiteness"?

redblade7 commented 4 years ago

Come to think of it, "priest" might offend an atheist, and "gynecologist" might not be suitable for the more gender squeamish instances. In fact the sports list itself is anti-body-positivity, and, "dybbuk boxes" are cultural appropriation of Judaism.

Yes, I know you're kidding. But why not leave this "bug" open and see other people's opinions.

I can't believe that some people have the nerve to not know what internalized whiteness is.

I try and ignore political correctness related issues because I'm so sick of it.
