I was expecting some horrible pdf akin to some crazy 'liberals' on twitter but that pdf actually does a decent job explaining why these can be upsetting in some situations (it's not like the writer thinks that asking where someone is born is bad in literally all situations). You might personally disagree but the message section of the table talks about how these sayings can be interpreted


The fact that you've normalized this is telling.


I don't choose what other people find upsetting and if being a little more cognizant of what is on this chart helps me not inadvertently upset people I don't understand how that is an issue. I think the chart is supposed to help us see some of these statements from other people's perspectives.
