They DO still teach that in Greek and debate classes, right?
I HAVE seen plenty of examples of people trying to accomodate disabled people who manifestly DO need it only to be sneered at for demeaning others.

As noted, the difference is we don't execute people for it, nor condone those who do.

In practice it usually means they use non-offensive meaningless euphemisms lest someone object.
