I dislike terms that are meant to confuse the reality of the situation.
We call it automotive accident insurance, because they pay if an accident occurs. It makes sense. Life insurance doesn't pay you in case you have life, it pays someone else in case you die. It's death insurance. I will not accept the branding "life insurance".
Similarly, pro-choice is not descriptive of anything. It's pro-abortion. I refuse to use the divisive/undescriptive term pro-choice.
Finally, I'm not ever using the term "African American", unless someone actually moved from Africa and is now an American citizen. It's too many syllables and an inaccurate description of most black people. We don't go around calling white people Irish American, or United Kingdom American, or Finland American... and how dumb would a person be if they were in Africa calling black people there African Americans? Then there's the fact that about 10% of Africans are white, and there are white African Americans.
