Social Student gets suspended for saying "illegal aliens" in class after hearing it from the News

[Natural Order]

I feel a lot of people believe the word alien came from science fiction first, and then was applied to people as a derogatory label.

 

[shunyata]

How is that offensive. If you're hispanic and are legally in the US, then you are not an "illegal" alien. Is "illegal" hispanic a better term? Im not sure what is the offensive word is here, is it alien?

It sounds like people are offended by the use of the word illegal in reference to a human existing.

Because resident alien is a legal term for an immigrant who is a legal resident.

There we have it. The duality of American cultism. One that can't understand the nuance of words in differing contexts and another that cannot handle any criticism of the American Government without having a breakdown....

There we have it. a 20yo who still in diapers trying to look cool by "both side bad" everything.
contexts or not the term "Aliens" is dehumanizing. They're people, poor people, less fortunate people seeking refuge and a better life. People who are here illegally are undocumented immigrants not "Aliens"
even with "contexts" this type of language is still disgusting.

In 8th grade I got sent to the principal's office 27 times.

Did they violate your civil rights?

One time I had to clean up racist graffiti that I didn't create. Can't remember if they falsely accused me of doing it because I was one of the few white guys or if that was just punishment for something that I actually did do.

I am not sure what society expects me to call humans that have entered illegally the country i was born in?

[Scerpi]

Oh, no! His record?!

What will he ever do lmao.

Also, this warrants more of a "shut up you little shit" from the teacher as opposed to a suspension

It's a legit term. There's nothing dehumanizing about it. If someone enters the company illegally or overstays their visa, they are an illegal alien. Just saying it's dehumanizing doesn't make it so.

Guaranteed the reporting would be more accurate and less biased.

They would, however, use a lot of words you probably wouldn't understand.

The irony is that the USA is a melting pot of legal and illegal immigration.Some are actually a part of building America.
