  • OK, so I’m one of the original SJWs I’m old and have a bit of a reputation for getting in the face of the ignorant, which isn’t always wise, but I’m a principled cunt But there is a point where the little things don’t fucking matter when the person clearly doesn’t have any malicious intent, and only someone trying to be offended would have a problem To whit, I was asking an indigenous friend whether they prefer “indigenous” or “aboriginal” when I’m speaking to them. They said “the fact that you’re even asking means that you’re obviously not a part of the problem, so pull the stick out of your arse” I suggest you do the same.
