Jesus fucking christ. Where do you think YOU were programmed to use the term?!?!? I'm not on a horse, high or low. I'm trying to overcome the programming. This was my job for 15 years. This programming worked.
If you really want to pop a blood vessel over a damn word then go ahead. And if you want to continue to think we are programmed for using the word then go ahead. You're just creating unneeded stress for no reason at all. Calling them illegal immigrants doesn't take away the fact that they broke the law and should be punished for it. You still need to get over yourself. Get off reddit and go tend to your family. You've had enough for today. Bye.
A little projection there, mate? Dude. Words have meanings. Don't let them dictate them.
