Quote from PETA’s twitter account (Jan. 26, 2021), “Words can create a more inclusive world, or perpetuate oppression. Calling someone an animal as an insult reinforces the myth that humans are superior to other animals & justified in violating them. Stand up for justice by rejecting supremacist language.”<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wouldn’t calling someone “repulsive” or a “snitch” be offensive?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Would it be alright to say I’m cooking fried “coward” tonight (rather than fried chicken)? <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What about jerk chicken<\/em> or jerk pig<\/em> (or really it’s jerk pork<\/em>), do we need to rename food itself or cooking styles?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
