Oh. Not from the US, didn't know it was that serious. Sorry

Oh no worries! I just assume that everyone else isn't from the US on Lemmy so I try to contextualize where I can.

I'm from the US and I've never heard of it being super problematic, though I'd consider it a bit dehumanizing to refer to anyone by their job rather than by their name.
