You might want to reflect that perhaps your use of the term "snowflake" is a bit too automatic. The overlap between kind and helpful people and people who automatically pull out "snowflake" is nil.

I'm very sorry, but I think you have a language problem ...

I regularly use the term "black". The people I am talking about are not American, and would find the term "African" offensive.

Always remember the English and Americans are two peoples divided by a common language - and don't you dare translate the word "bum-bag" in my presence - the American equivalent is both offensive and sexist ... :-)

(It took me quite a while to realise what you saw as offensive ...)

Cheers,
Wol
