My promise to everyone to avoid problematic language

I shall not be a gas bag and roast Jews for their mannerisms.
I shall maintain respectful deportment towards Mexicans.
I shall not be bombastic towards Muslims.
I shall not denigrate people of color.
I shall not belittle dwarves.
I shall not rag on women
I shall not act like a savage to native Americans.
