When writing for the mass media, it's not always easy for me to consciously be aware of using language with sensitivity and respect for those of different cultures and communities.
One of the struggles I face as a media writer is that I am a white male. It's hard to fully comprehend the proper usage of diversity-sensitive language because, not being from a minority background, I may not be fully aware of a possible offense.
This isn't out of arrogance, but more because there are so many different cultures and I'm yet to experience many outside of my own background.
