Seattle officials call for ban on 'potentially offensive' language

Government workers in the city of Seattle have been advised that the terms "citizen" and
"brown bag" are potentially offensive and may no longer be used in official documents and discussions.

Only in a liberal city could the words citizen and brown bag be "offensive".
