As the article explains it, the outrage is that the meaning of the word migrant has changed to communicate a thing that is sub-human. So, they're arguing that we should use the terms people, families, and refugees instead.
However, as someone that grew up in Miami, the term refugee can also become derogatory. Just ask the Cubans that were called "refs" throughout the 80s and 90s.
I have a better idea. How about we just stop feigning outrage over fucking words. Are we all 5 years old?
Migrant: definition; a person who goes from one place to another especially to find work.
Please tell me how that is offensive.
You speak as if words don't have power.
