Lets face it people. We discriminate all the time, in all walks of life.
Political Correctness has gone too far, to where it's dangerous to even open
your mouth now. However, simple respect for most people regardless of their
beliefs and background isn't too much to ask for.
Treat undesirable language in software as a bug. Debian promises to pass
bugs upstream to the developers. That's where our responsibility ends.
These days it seems like silence is the only politically correct thing
that a person can say.
