[quote=Anonymous]This is slightly off-topic but not by much: I have recently found this article to be useful in articulating some of the issues in the current climate, which some believe amounts to an appropriate reaction to unacceptable, offensive, and hurtful language and others believe is the "PC police" run rampant. https://www.bostonglobe.com/ideas/2016/11/13/the-recreational-use-racism/TzxwI9Fg03ySKGYrCBv9SL/story.html

In particular: However, to understand that racism is real is not to pretend that humans will ever be perfect. If there is a way to eliminate implicit bias entirely, there are no studies showing that the way to do it is to tar and feather anyone displaying the slightest sign of any kind of insensitivity on the Internet for weeks. This new practice is more about self-congratulation than change, turning what began as an unprecedentedly mature understanding of the nature of racism into a grown-up version of tattletaling and cops and robbers. What happened to simply noting civilly that someone has made a mistake?[/quote]
