I had a grown man tell me that I couldn't call my friend a Mexican, he said I should call her Latino. I said "but she's FROM Mexico ". He didn't know where to go after that.
My brother had a history class in high school and his teacher used the word “Indians.” This caused some students to get upset and they told the teacher to use “Native Americans” instead. The lesson was about India. Literally Indians.

The number of adults I've known who think "Jew" is offensive is ridiculously high. "I'm a Jew" "You can't say that, can you?"
