What the model flagged

Analyzed 2026-10-07 21:59 UTC.

Findings may include language that is quoted rather than the speaker's own, and the model over-reads ceremonial language (tributes, anniversaries) as persuasion. Check each finding against the original.

Loaded Language 85%

The term 'illegal alien' is an emotionally charged label used to dehumanize and stigmatize the individual rather than using neutral legal terminology such as 'undocumented immigrant' or 'foreign national' — for example: 'illegal alien'

“illegal alien”

Scapegoating 75%

The sentence links national origin (Mexico) directly to criminal acts, implying a connection between being Mexican and criminality, which scapegoats an ethnic/national group — for example: 'an illegal alien from Mexico, convicted of second-degree burglary and DUI'

“an illegal alien from Mexico, convicted of second-degree burglary and DUI”

Name Calling 92%

Derogatory labels used to discredit a person or group rather than address their arguments.
