The Berliner Landeskriminalamt (LKA) has drawn up a guide for “discrimination-sensitive language”, writes Junge Freiheit.
The police officers must use the form of language chosen by the persons concerned and avoid terms such as ” refugee”.
Even words such as “hijab wearer”, “mentally disabled” and “race” are on the list of prohibited words.
LKA recommends that police officers listen carefully and respect the self-designation which the person concerned uses.
When the police write reports and documents, they must contain so-called gender colons, a left-wing German way of writing professional titles so that they become gender neutral.
The Berlin government already adopted in September 2020 a diversity program that prescribes the use of new sensitive expressions such as “people with a migration background” instead of immigrants, among other things.
