By repeatedly referring to groups as "minorities," they are being infantised to their numerical representation and made to feel minor. The vagueness also abstracts the identify of the marginalised group, making it difficult to address why they are minoritised to begin with.

It removes the pejorative nature of "minorities", illuminating that this is an effect upon the individual or group, rather than the singular way to identify the group.

of sound mind, mentally healthy
## Issues
While "[insane](/definitions/insane)" might seem more obvious to people as an ableist word to use, the subtle connotation that sanity is good implicitly suggests that _insanity_, its opposite, is bad.
Connoting sanity (which is an assessment of a person's neurological status—a medical condition that largely can't be changed) with being well-thought out, reasonable, sensible (or mindful of an event or series of events) reinforces the ableist idea that sanity (being neurotypical or mentally well and abled) is good, and its opposite of insanity (being neurodivergent or mentally ill and disabled), is bad.
## Impact
Using "sane" reinforces the system that excludes mentally ill and disabled people, reinforcing negative biases against them. Using this language causes harm to mentally ill, neurodivergent, and disabled people.
By using this ableist language, we are perpetuating violence against people who experience mental or psychological disabilities. Using this language perpetuates those systems and language of harm, regardless of our intent.
## Usage Tip
Be more specific. Typically we can find an alternate definition by taking time to reflect on what criteria we hope our test can meet and what kind of feedback we're hoping to gain.

a basic test to quickly evaluate whether a claim or the result of a calculation can possibly be true; when expressed literally, examines if the author of a test was sane when they wrote it; commonly used in software engineering to assess whether something is reasonable and sound or meets its goals/acceptance criteria.
## Issues
Connoting sanity (which is an assessment of a person's neurological status—a medical condition that largely can't be changed) with the thoroughness of a piece of software (which is an object we create by decisions, which can be changed) reinforces the ableist idea that sanity (being neurotypical or mentally well) is good and its opposite of insanity (being neurodivergent or mentally ill) is bad.
## Impact
Using "sanity check" in our engineering processes reinforces a system that excludes mentally ill and disabled people, reinforcing negative biases against them and making unsafe places for them to work and to be. Using this language causes harm to our mentally ill, neurodivergent, and disabled colleagues.
