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.
