It's not semantics to be against incorrectly used, inclusive language when it includes two groups that couldnt have less to do with each other.

It's like saying "humans sexually assault dogs." And being mad when someone points out that humans dont generally do that, just creepy zoophiles.

Correcting language is the first step to correcting ideas, and thats the first step to fixing undeveloped countries like the us.

That is semantics friend. You're describing semantics. We disagree on the meaning of a word, because colloquially it means one thing while it means something else in other definitions.

Also your analogy is bad. You're describing a generalization or the formation of a stereotype.

Correcting language IS NOT how you correct ideas. You correct ideas by making people experience a difference in emotion.
