So this is what the chief diversity officer does.
I wonder if he knows where the title "chief" comes from?
Hypocrite.

The Chief Diversity Officer has recommended the term Booby Traps be changed to Breast Entanglements.

For instance:

No mention of "booby traps"? Thumb110

What you think you are saying:
"Ayyyyy! I'm the fuckin' Fonz!"

What you are actually saying:
"Ayyyyy! I'm going to jam my thumb in your anus!"

What the hell?
It's not just the Middle East. This seemingly universal gesture is also hideously offensive in West Africa and South America, whose citizens would doubtless get really confused if they ever watched Ebert and Roeper. "This movie is great, Bill! So great that I'd like to anally rape it with my thumb!"

The thumbs-up sign has been confusing people for thousands of years. Contrary to Hollywood legend, Roman gladiators were not spared by a thumbs-up, but by a hidden thumb. If the origins of both gestures are linked, we can only assume this meant, "Do not kill the prisoner, he seems the perfect solution to the emperor's arthritic finger."

Hypocrite.

In the real estate industry there are many words considered "trigger" words. Words you should either use with caution, or not use at all as they might bring charges of discrimination. Or if not a direct violation, an additional charge to another complaint. It came about from the days right after the Civil Rights Act of 1968 was passed. People, newspaper, real estate companies used "code" words instead of saying "Whites Only". Some of those "trigger words are "Executive Neighborhood", Exclusive Neighborhood". Lots of others.

Some years past a substantial radical group were trying feverishly to have other words added to the list in the interest of "Political Correctness.

I'm not joking, some of the words they wanted banned were master bedroom or master suite, walk in closet, scenic vista, magnificent sunsets, walking distance to shopping/park whatever.

Rarely for the government and HUD, saner heads prevailed and the requests were denied.
