"labeling people"
So we can't use black, white, Hispanic, gay, feminist, trans, fascist, Nazi, right-wing, left-wing, liberal, progressive, white-supremacist, felon, criminal, Muslim, Jew, Christian, American, German, or Iraqi? Are we all now just "x" or "z"? There are no meaningful distinctions whatsoever between different groups of people?
The WSJ is just playing games and saying nonsense; this is a very specific ban which in no way touches on the innumerable labels - whether neutral, positive, or negative - that are necessary and are routinely used in the media and in common discourse.
To: upchuck
It is, they said, all in an effort to stop “labeling people.”
So people who commit murder will no longer be called murderers. People who rob banks will no longer be called bank robbers. Men who rape women will no longer be called rapists. I think I’ve got it. But what should they be called?

They also capitalize “black” but not “white” when used as a description of race. Pathetic.

I don't think so Steve. The term "criminal" is a bit too harsh sounding and has a very negative stigma attached to it.
Something like, rascal or 'mischievous' instead of "criminal" should be considered.

Well as an IMMIGRANT I will use the lawful term illegal alien whenever its necessary...and thats whenever I am referring to a person who is illegally in my country...
The WSJ is correct...They are not IMMIGRAMTS ....they do not IMMIGRATE....
To: upchuck
I’ll never forget when Ted Turner told all his Turner Broadcasting affiliates that the word “foreign” was not to be used. “We are citizens of the world,” Turner said at the time. “Nobody is foreign to us.” Instead, reporters were to look for other words such as “international”.
The next night, during an Atlanta Braves game, the irrepressible Skip Caray noted there was a timeout on the field as the umpires checked a pitcher suspected of doctoring the baseballs. “I guess the umpire is looking for an international substance on the pitcher’s glove”.

And what leeway do they have in describing Trump supporting conservatives?
I'll bet they still label them derogatorily.

‘Reporters’ should be called ‘liars’ shorter and more descriptive!

No problem as they are “illegal aliens” under federal law. Should use the correct, legal term. Otherwise, are they insurgents, terrorists, thieves, rapists, child molesters, drug runners...
