- You can say, “Evangelicals” and not, “Evangelical people”.
- You can say, “Athletes” and not, “Athlete people”.
- You can say, “Blacks” and not “Black people”.
- You can say, “Jew” and not, “Jewish person”.
Adding the word, “person” is optional. Everybody knows that Jews and Blacks are people. But unless you’re willing to call Derek Jeter an, “Athlete Person” for the rest of your life or Daniel Radcliffe as an, “Actor Person”, then understand some of us like shorthand.
Adding the word, “Person” should be optional and refusing to add it doesn’t mean you want to take away someone’s humanity. It just means you like shorthand and you like being concise.
