@asklemmy #AskMastodon Philosophical/anthropological question for anyone interested in #SocialJustice or #AIethics or anyone with a thought on it.

Do you think the common association and clear similarities between the robot-pejorative term “clanker” and the n-word at all indicate that use of the term “clanker” ought to be avoided?

    If so, perhaps the rabbit-pejorative term “bunny” should also be avoided for the same reasons as the dreaded n-word.
