imo this shows wokeism naked thru the lens of linguistics:
"Our impulse to identify and celebrate what we call diversity begins as
noble, but it is too little acknowledged how dangerous this quest becomes.
Besides the alarmingly fine line between diversity and diorama, more than a few whom few of us could break bread with today have found the 'language as a lens' idea attractive. Take the intransigent ultranationalist German historian Heinrich von Treitschke. Prussophile, xenophobic, and nakedly anti-Semitic, he was given in the late nineteenth century to insights such as 'differences of language inevitably imply differing outlooks on the world'. You can imagine the kinds of arguments and issues he couched that kind of statement in, and yet the statement itself could come straight out of Whorf, and would be celebrated as brain food by a great many today."
