As would I, unfortunately we have to hire women and coloreds and lawsuits exist for creating hostile work environments.

Even aside from that, being honest/hostile will cause people to either dig in or shut up. The former causes resentment and sabotages the subordinate/boss relationship. The latter can cause actual problems to fester and majorly fuck up the business. You need to give people flex.

"The group members feel understood because they all use the same words and it generates a sense of camaraderie

Complex situations are often reduced to a few words, and this begins to shut down the critical thinking of the members.
