It’s strange how words sometimes change in meaning for subgroups of a population. Words like “racist” and “scam” have changed.
What troubles me is how this creates mental prisons of cynicism for certain people.
Racism, for many, has transitioned from an excessive prejudice of a people to someone who doesn’t prioritize the struggles of others.
The word scam went from a deliberate con to something that meets below the expectations of a consumer.
Such changes end up producing misery and can be found just about anywhere. Avoid those people.
