Again, it's also not entirely about what's offensive/inoffensive. It's about recognizing accurate terminology to describe people who live in B.C., who may not identify as British Columbians due to how they view their relationship with their traditional territories. Due to the fact that most of these territories being unceded in B.C., the courts and the government recognize them as nations within Canada.
Conservatives sure do get pissy about the dumbest ####.
EDIT: Also, how does this affect your life in any way? Are you a government worker in B.C.?

What purpose does a reference to "people living in BC" serve when addressing Indigenous Peoples or other individuals who do not recognize British Columbia to begin with? For anyone identifying as a member of a sovereign nation it might feel like occupier language to say that they are "people living in BC."
