Stereotypes based on skin colour, gender, nationality, sexuality, and even names are clearly all discriminatory.
Offence is based on the perceptions of the offended, not any rational or objective standard.
To conform to current acceptable societal behaviours we should act as though none of these differentiators actually exist, and make no reference either directly or through implication.
The end game is that we all become clones - a sort of denial of different DNA.
All quite daft - I have no doubt that in a few decades language that we now regard as woke or politically correct will be deemed as unacceptable as "P", "C", "N" etc words are today!
