Minister for Inclusion wants "the Kerryman" to change to gender-neutral title

[odyssey06]

Ombudsman is a non-gender specific word. It comes from a Nordic word meaning representative.

Sounds dangerously like cultural appropriation there. The Minister for Inclusion may want to exclude that.

It happens everywhere, sure English Rugby fans dress up as French Crusaders when attending matches (the red cross on a white background was French, the English wore a white cross on a red background).
Us Europeans culturally appropriated the fork from the Persians.
Here in Ireland we appropriated Daniel Day Lewis, Cadburys Chocolate and the structure used for the GAA from the English.

Cork people appropriated walking upright and washing themselves from Kerry people.

Doesn't matter.
Niggardly is a perfectly reasonable word but some people get offended by it.

We also need to take a look at Snowman/Snowmen. Exclusively male and exclusively white. Santa should also be pulled up on inappropriate behavior, harassing people under miseltoe.

Snowbody's offended by this.
