Every word is a prejudice.

Every word is a prejudice.

Summary

This quote suggests that every word we use carries a bias or preconceived notions. It highlights the idea that language itself is not neutral but is shaped by the subjective perspectives, beliefs, and experiences of individuals or societies. Therefore, our words can inadvertently perpetuate stereotypes or unfair judgments. It serves as a reminder to be mindful of the language we employ and to be conscious of the potential biases we may unintentionally convey through our choice of words.

Religions and states and classes and tribes and nations do not have to work or argue for their adherents and subjects. They more or less inherit them. Against this unearned patrimony there have always been speakers and writers who embody Einstein's injunction to 'remember your humanity and forget the rest.' It would be immodest to claim membership in this fraternity/sorority, but I hope not to have done anything to outrage it. Despite the idiotic sneer that such principles are 'fashionable,' it is always the ideas of secularism, libertarianism, internationalism, and solidarity that stand in need of reaffirmation.
