You do a plot twist and throw everyone off -

Aunt Jemima's Pies!

World explodes!

I like it - but only if they come out with a maple flavored pie.

It's like they are trying to get a civil war started. It's best to get off social media and the internet and pretend these people don't exist. Don't even acknowledge them and say whatever the hell you want to say.. don't let the thought police tell you what to do. This stuff is so insane I think it's time for a break from the news media.

Now that you mention it, I went to look for some house plans I have from model homes.
In many of the house plans, the bedrooms are numbered according to size and prominent features. So the largest bedroom, which is nowadays usually ensuite, is labeled Bedroom 1.

I have also seen "Owner's Bedroom" for the largest bedroom.

In this house, we refer to the largest bedroom as simply "our bedroom" or "the bedroom," since none of the other bedrooms are used as bedrooms.

Most commonly, though, the house plans I have downloaded use the term "Master Suite" or "MSTR Suite." Some houses now have entirely separate bathrooms off this suite, that clearly state "His and Hers."

Right. In Oklahoma, Eskimo Joe's and Mexico Joe's won't be dumped as names of restaurants, because they're racist.

Mark my words, anything and everything "Dixie" is a short timer.

I've asked Alexa to "play Dukes of Hazzard theme song" Daily, before it's banned.

Yeah they will...just a matter of time. You white car is fair game also! And Dallas Cowboys because cowboys killed Indians. The Buffalo Bills are probably in trouble because Buffalo Bill killed Indians.

Are Klondike bars next?

Ask them yourself.

I don't have a sled dog in this fight because I prefer ice cream sandwiches.

Not really firing on all cylinders there, are you sport?

Eskimo is a great term and work.

Inuit means nothing to the Eskimos, and people who say it have no idea where the word comes from or why.

Eskimo is an excellent word that I love using in many different contexts.

What some may say are harmless or 'timeless' descriptive terms, or not so endearing names that reference Native American stereotypes.

Redskin, squaw, the moniker 'Pocahontas', it goes on.

It's better just to not use them at all. And easy too.
