[quote=Anonymous]I would love to see a spin off thread on nuances here that have to do with race. I think there absolutely are - I raised it earlier and was one of the first recent posters about whether there was a small r racism here. It’s unquestionable when Alison Murphy (white) suggested to a POC to post in Grub writers of color - so they would draaaaaag here. I hope nobody thinks that’s okay, And I hope nobody dismisses that this is a persons white race being leveraged against them. And all the “annoying white woman” tweets. I know I sure as hell would never call someone an annoying Asian woman or an annoying black woman. It would feel wrong and it would be wrong. So why do we laugh it off when others don’t follow the same code? There is, as someone said, no social penalty for making a joke about someone’s whiteness - even when it’s not just a joke, and rather is meant to insult and hurt, including in a random way. 
 
But that’s just a layer here. It’s not the main one. The CMs and a lot of the lit blue checks are just showing themselves to be not very good or ethical humans. The racial slurs are just a slice. What happened to Dawn was more about classism. [/quote]
