The CDC has gone out of its way to produce a list of "Preferred Terms for Select Population Groups & Communities" for everything from felons to retards.
The claim is that using these euphemisms helps avoid stigma. This is Voat. I don't have to explain how that's bullshit.
Regardless, enjoy learning all the newspeak.
The following categories are included in the list.
- Corrections & Detentions
- Disability
- Drug / Substance Use
- Healthcare Access & Access to Services and Resources
- Homelessness
- Lower Socioeconomic Status (SES)
- Mental Health / Behavioral Health
- Non-U.S.-born Persons / Immigration Status
- Older Adults
- People Who are at Increased / Higher Risk
- Race & Ethnicity
- Rural
- Sexual Orientation & Gender Identity
- Working Partners & Community Collaborators

Euphemism Drift
Euphemisms keep creeping and changing. (Euphemism Drift). Negro, Nigger, Colored, Colored People, Black, finally African Americans!
No one wants to be a Negro , so they just keep changing the term. to more syllables.
The word for mobile handicapped Cripple originally was 'Hirple'. It was Hirple before 1300. Then they changed it to be Cripple (a similar ancient word) to be less derogatory, as no one wanted to be called Hirple.
Soon, cripples did not want to be called CRIPPLED, so they changed it again to DISABLED.
Then the DISABLED did not want to be called DISABLED, so they changed the euphemism to HANDICAPPED
Then from HANDICAPPED to CHALLENGED, then to DISABLED PERSON, then DIFFERENTLY-ABLED, then from DIFFERENTLY ABLED, to HANDICAPABLE, then to SPECIAL.
(For one year the SJWs tried to leave 'Special' behind and steal the word 'GIFTED' but it did not take.)
That 'Euphemism Drift' is caused when a group of people do not want to be named and the term is banned as an attack on them.
'Retarded' now INCORRECTLY uses 'Autistic' as its euphemism.
In the last 15 years, the number of retards in USA plummeted 90% , but the number of so-called "autistic" skyrocket the same amount almost 900% up! In the last 50 years the number is 277 fold ( 27,700 % less retards )
All retards are now mislabled as "autistic"
Even though there is/was a real thing called autism before it was infested with retards....
The first autism prevalence study (1970): less than 1 in 10,000 kids. Recently the autism rate in the U.S: 1 in 36 kids (2017) - a 27,000% (277-fold) increase in 50 years. Now its 1 in 35. All retards are called "Autistic" , ruining the term.
RETARDATION DROPPED 277 fold in same time!
No one wants to be "retarded", a proper medical term.
Euphemism shift, or "Euphemism drift"
The old Medical term for Retarded was Moron (1846)

Idiot. Imbecile. Cretin. Feebleminded. Moron. Retarded. Are all IQ medical ranges :

Its the same thing with RETARDED. No one wants to be a RETARDED so they keep inventing new ways to not be called RETARDED, like 'autistic' (even though there is/was a real thing called autism before it was infested with retards.)
Euphemism Drift

You don’t need a whole list longer than that.
