How coincidental, one of my classes is discussing "The Coddling of the American Mind". Personally I find the text beneficial in understanding the mindset that young Americans tend to have now a days, however whether or not that mindset is good or bad (in any sense of the two words) is of course subjective to the individual. What I know about myself is that I do not have much care for such arguments; I believe they are petty and unnecessary. If I can articulate what the meaning behind the word is in the proper context, I could not care what they are. Granted this opinion isn't for everyone, nor should it be. In the end it is a controversial discussion to say the least. This spike in "verbal sensitivity" calls for reconsideration of intentions behind wording and perhaps a reminder that most of the time, people don't mean to be offensive in every way imaginable. What I'm trying to say by that is, we all know that the slave/master issue with Django is obviously related to a computer context, and it makes sense to use that type of wording, since it accurately gets the point across. Considering otherwise is completely baffling to me. But, perhaps I'm just desensitized in that regard.
