I addressed all your points lehun. Your difficulty is in answering mine. In the end all you've done is expressed your opinion. What you've failed to do is to recognise that discrimination is in the eye of the discriminated against. Not in the opinion of anyone else - including you.



How about the word 'Ginger'? Is that equally highly discriminatory?

If all discriminatory words and terms are highly discriminatory then the
prefix is not needed surely? We just need to say that it is
discriminatory.

Or perhaps you would like to venture forth some discriminatory words or
terms that you don't consider to be 'highly' discriminatory. Maybe you
would care to share with us how you would differentiate a discriminatory
term from a derogatory one?

...

Which bit is rubbish? That the term now encompasses pre and post
pubescent children as a result of misuse by authority or that it always
has done.

Or that it doesn't really matter whether the victims are pre or post
pubescent?
