Orwellian liberal speak

We know that in liberal America, no one is ever an alcoholic, but is “struggling” with alcoholism; no one ever deliberately indulges in illegal drugs because he likes them, but is “struggling” with drug addiction; and blacks and Hispanics are not much more violent and criminal than other groups, but are “disproportionately represented” in the criminal justice system.
