MoveOn.org video: Saying 'illegal' immigrants fits definition of a hate crime - Spokane Conservative | Examiner.com: In yet another case of Orwellian political correctness run amok, a video posted at MoveOn.org says calling illegal immigrants "illegal" fits the definition of a hate crime and calls for the word to be banned when used in the context of immigration.
The headline at the MoveOn page screams "One word we hear too often on Fox News," as if only Fox News calls illegal immigrants "illegal."
A web page at Colorlines goes even further, giving words they say are more acceptable.
"The epithet 'illegals' promotes a culture of intolerance and violence toward foreign nationals, undocumented immigrants, and people of color," the site says, suggesting:
Undocumented immigrants
Unauthorized immigrants
NAFTA refuge
