I had no idea how culturally insensitive and racist my vocabulary was until today. I heard that there were institutions in the beautiful woke state of California that were banning the word “field” – the new “f-word” – due to it now being racist, and I had to look into it further. After some enlightened research, I discovered that both the Michigan Department of Health and Human Services as well as the University of Southern California’s school of social work have recently taken steps to ban the word “field” from all official documents, again due to it now being classified as racist. I played football growing up, and as you know, we typically played on football fields; I have to admit that the guilt I feel about it now is almost unbearable.
