Elaine is going into Pakistan for the first time and staying with a Muslim family. She has never left the U.S. and is quite intimidated by the prospect of encountering a new place. What can she do in order to ensure non-biased language?

Answer:

She can research Pakistani and Muslim customs beforehand, avoid stereotypes and assumptions, use respectful and inclusive language, observe her hosts’ practices, and politely ask questions when she is unsure about an appropriate term or behavior.
