tone, or whether it's a result of years of discrimination. I saw a reflection of myself in college, early 1980's giving a similar speech in speech class, reportedly well received and opened some minds to being sensitive about throwing around potentially insulting language.
If it was reactive to some particular insult, I wouldn't really want to know of it's specifics because it would likely be reiteration of the bigoted garbage we've all heard ad nauseum.
Chicago, I love your mayor too, and would love to bless her loving soul with boundless love and admiration.
