Lately, here at DU, I have been seeing the terms:
"You Obama Supporters" and "You Clinton Supporters"
thrown about...
I have heard this sort of language before... sound familiar?
anyhow...
'You People' need to lighten up...
'we the People' are starting to get a little annoyed.

3. It is ugly terminology. |

Says much about the poster using the term.

4. 'you people' is the gateway drug to much harsher language... |
|
it's the first step toward dehumanizing others in order to justify burgeoning hatred...
