Oh yes, because obviously these lists reflect the way that people from minority groups without a degree talk to each other in everyday speech. I’m sure these lists were all written by people from those groups.
I think a core disagreement here is people on the right say "These academic institutions are being politicized" but that's not true, the institutions were always political, it's just that previously they were political in a way that favoured rich straight white men and now an effort is being made to counteract that.
