I just watched the Three Amigos the other day! It wasn't that funny anymore, but ... come on.

What's the problem with "war games"?

the document says it is "violent language".

the reasoning for "three amigos" is that it is "racially loaded language"

Violent language?! How do they suggest you write about actual wars?

[edit] I won't even dignify the stupidity of conflating the Spanish language with a race - then its use with racism - with a response, except to say that such a view could only arise among the privileged children of racists in a very small part of the United States.

I just briefly checked 'muskateer' on Wikipedia, of all the old pictures listed on the page, I couldn't find one that depicted a non male-presenting one, does that make 'muskateer' gender-charged as in the "three muskateers'
