Dictionary.com to Delete the Word "Slave"
As social engineering goes into high gear, updates to the Newspeak Dictionary come fast and furious. Dictionary.com will now delete the word "slave" from our vocabulary.
Via Yahoo Life:
The word "slave" is to be canceled because leftists disapprove of it for being "dehumanizing." Whether a word is included in the dictionary depends on how progressive ideologues think the word makes people feel.
Despite all the words our moonbat rulers have abolished, dictionaries won't necessarily get smaller, because they also add terms.
On a tip from ABC of the ANC.
Dictionary.com to Delete the Word "Slave"
As social engineering goes into high gear, updates to the Newspeak Dictionary come fast and furious. Dictionary.com will now delete the word "slave" from our vocabulary.
Via Yahoo Life:
As part of its ongoing efforts to feature language that is more inclusive and reflective of modern-day society, Dictionary.com will no longer include the word "slave" as a noun identifying a person, instead using the adjective "enslaved" or referencing the institution of slavery.
The wordy phrase "inclusive and reflective of modern-day society" is a euphemism for “compliant with current leftist dogma."

The change is one of 7,600 updates the online resource has announced, which also include the addition of terms relevant to race, social justice and identity, such as "BIPOC" (Black, Indigenous and People of Color) and "Critical Race Theory."Nothing escapes politicization under our system of totalitarian leftism, least of all language, where progressives have aggressively implemented the strategy George Orwell mapped out in 1984 of controlling our thoughts by manipulating our vocabulary.
The latest updates — which also include capitalizing "Indigenous" when referring to people, and adding entries for "racialization," "disenfranchisement" and "overpolice" — follow those announced last September. That round of revisions saw the capitalization of the word Black in reference to people, and the addition of terms relevant to mental health (specifically, suicide and addiction) and LGBTQ identity.

slave (n.)
late 13c., "person who is the chattel or property of another," from Old French esclave (13c.), from Medieval Latin Sclavus "slave" (source also of Italian schiavo, French esclave, Spanish esclavo), originally "Slav" (see Slav); so used in this secondary sense because of the many Slavs sold into slavery by conquering peoples.
