“We and them” maybe the most insidious words in the English language. Why? Many people may ask that question. How could words used everyday be so insidious without them even knowing? Let me start off by letting you know my side of this, first by saying that I agree with this statement. The reasons why I believe these words are so insidious are because they separate people from others and they put people into their own categories or they label people. In order to either disagree or agree with this you have to know what insidious means. A word that I use to explain insidious is sinister. Many people may say insidious is such a strong word for two harmless words. But these words can be harmful to many people. I like to call them dangerous words because they put people in their own category. They show the separation between people even now in the days that we believe that we are all equal. “We and them” are words that people use in everyday life and they have no clue that they are so insidious.
