A North Carolina high school student, Christian McGhee who’s 16, was suspended for using the term “illegal alien” when asking his English teacher a question.
The school called it racism. However the basic definition of illegal alien doesn't mention race at all. "a foreign person who is living in a country without having official permission to live there."
So what is the politically correct term the pussies are using these days? Immigrants?
I think either it's just "immigrants" now. Biden did a directive to their agencies in 2021 telling them to use " undocumented noncitizen", but the AP stylebook nixed "illegal immigrant" in 2023, after sanctioning that specificially in 2013 once it became unfashionable to use "alien". Now they just want to use "immigrant", and even "undocumented" is pretty iffy.
The AP Stylebook is a writing and editing reference for newsrooms, classrooms and corporate offices worldwide. AP Stylebook Online builds on everything that’s in the print Stylebook, and makes it a more comprehensive, convenient resource.
