Trudeau Says "Mankind" Is Not An Appropriate Term : "We Say Peoplekind"
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is being widely mocked over the internet after he interrupted a woman during a town hall to admonish her over using the word "mankind" in her question, telling her to instead use "peoplekind." Trudeau was hosting a Q&A at MacEwan University in Edmonton on Thursday as part of a cross-country tour which began in January.
Aimee, a member of South Korean feminist church World Mission Society Church of God, asked a question about removing Canadian restrictions on religious organizations when Trudeau corrected her.
Aimee: We came here today to ask you to also look into the policies that religious charitable organizations have in our legislations so that it can also be changed because maternal love is the love that's going to change the future of mankind.
Trudeau: We -- we like to say "peoplekind," not necessarily "mankind" 'cause it's more inclusive.
Aimee tells the Daily Mail that she wasn't offended by Trudeau's comment, saying "It wasn't negative,' and adding "Did it look like I was bothered by it?"
