It’s political. That’s not the problem. The problem is people saying “politics are unpleasant so we should never discuss them. It’s much more pleasant to just not participate in political discussion. You disagree with me on something? Well that’s now political and it’s rude for you not to shut up about it and just let me have my way. “

Don’t concern yourself with wether something is considered political. Focus on why political discussion is taboo. That’s the real danger.
