We need to take it upon ourselves to call out our friends when they say even passively racist or otherwise close-minded statements, and we need to take care to not use that sort of language ourselves. If moving forward, we all eliminate oppressive language from our own vocabularies, and make an effort to eliminate it from our peers' vocabularies, we'll be light-years ahead of where we stand today.
