Language is a powerful tool which can be used to express views and opinions on any topic, however sensitive. To convey opinions in a way which avoids discrimination or offence, it is important to be mindful of the language being used. It is best to avoid making categorical or blanket statements, as these can come across as too absolute and lead to offense. Try phrasing opinions diplomatically by using terms such as “in general” or “most often”. Additionally, it’s important not to trivialize certain experiences by being overly flippant in your language or appearing dismissive of certain cultures or beliefs; try instead expressing opinions from an analytical standpoint.
