I like how the SPLC link the mod posts specifically talks about how you should reconsider using "tribe" to characterize groups of Africans or Amerindians because it is inconsistent and imprecise, not that you should abandon the word for every situation including describing your own group. Overbroad applications of rules and principles with a narrow, specific focus is so rampant with certain avid social-justice types it's ridiculous.

From the article: "The term "tribe," which comes from the Latin tribus, was tied to classical and biblical images. The ancient Romans used tribus to denote segments of their own population, as well as the Celtic and Germanic societies with which many 19th- and early-20th-century Europeans and Americans identified. Latin and English Bibles adopted the term for the 12 lineages of Hebrews who settled the Promised Land. This link of tribes to prestigious earlier periods of Western culture contributed to the view that tribe had universal validity in social evolution."

Which is funny, because it directly contradicts that users claim "that academia picked up a word with a white supremacist origin." Latin tribus is ancient and even the first appearance of tribe in English is 12th Century, before white supremacy was even a thing. Do these people even read the things they link? It's literally impossible for the word to have "white supremacist origins."
