It's funny you mention the Missouri U Tim Tai incident. That entire debacle is a good lesson for us progressives in the dangers of ultra- political correctness and knee-jerk sensitivity. And that's what I thought of when I read your comment about detrimental usage of terms like "frat boy" and "dude".
"Frat boy" and "dude" are off-limits now?
I came across poignant reminder of this irony while catching up with news about university protests over the weekend: After being intimidated and physically assaulted by protesters while trying to take photos in a public space in Missouri U., the journalism student Tim Tai said "He was in a similar situation when covering last year's protests in Ferguson, ... — except 'it was the police doing it then.'"

We should not appropriate the tactics of those we oppose.
