Респект журналисту

torontoru — 31.08.2022 Вот уж совершенно не ожидала, что в нынешней Канаде может появиться такая статья в центральной прессе. Автор поднимает темы, на которые не принято спорить (это может быть опасно для репутации и карьеры) - гендерные местоимения, расовая и ЛГБТ терминология.

Несколько цитат - зацените смелость автора:

For years, Canadians have referred to “visible minorities.” It’s a simple concept and people know what it means. Now, we are supposed to call anyone who isn’t white a “racialized person,” as if their non-whiteness was the most important thing about them.

......

People can certainly use any pronouns they like. It’s a free-ish country. For the same reason, no one should even contemplate making their personal choice mandatory for everyone.

......

The disagreement over just the right words is the visible tip of a much larger problem: the misguided effort to choose one characteristic about an individual and then use that characteristic to divide people into many small groups, each with its own grievance. That leads to a series of apologies and payouts to make good on all the mistakes of the past. It’s a long, tortuous journey that takes us nowhere.

Респект журналисту!
