DY: you mean any word used to describe something which is actually negative will eventually be considered disparaging.

Well, I think that is stupid.

I agree we shouldn’t use words which describe ethnic groups which attained a negative connotation. But that is different, since the ethnic groups aren’t actually bad, they were just considered inferior for stupid reasons, and using those words perpetuates that.

But words for things that are actually negative, it doesn’t make sense to keep changing the word.
