Given the current social climate, is it acceptable to refer to members of a certain group as "backward" or "primitive" in public?

No, it is not acceptable to refer to members of a certain group as "backward" or "primitive" in public. It is important to recognize and value diversity, which includes respecting different cultural values and believes. Generalizing an entire group as backward or primitive does not allow for the unique experiences, perspectives, thoughts and feelings of individuals within that group which can add tremendous value to society. Such statements also reflect prejudice which can create division rather than bring people together.

No, it is not acceptable to refer to members of any group in a derogatory manner in public. Furthermore, such language implies an unfair and racist judgement and should be avoided at all costs.
