Please, do take care, and be aware that the English used by
many of the posters here is of the EFL variety. Assume the best until
the poster is proven otherwise.

The current political-correct-isms in English, and especially those of
AmE tend not to penetrate other languages. You also get false-friends
and 'false enemies'. E.g., the usual word for "male Pole" in Polish is
considered racist in English; are Poles obligated to alter their
language to suit the current politically correct notions of
English-speakers?

And be aware that at times this group also goes in for satire and
parody.
