This is insane. Of all of the taboos, all the actual racism around us every day, all of the horribly offensive things people call each other, why is this single word everyone’s hill to die on?

It all feels so superficial and performative.[/quote]

+1 so phony and performative.[/quote]

It’s like the “let’s ban plastic straws!” solution to environmental degradation and pollution. No one (reasonable) is saying that plastic straws are good, we’re just saying they were chosen because it’s easy enough not to use them and one can therefore puff their chest and declare publicly how much they REALLY CARE while conveniently ignoring all of the much larger and more important considerations that might actually cause them some pain or suffering to truly address.

Oh, I publicly get my panties in a twist and grab my pitchfork over this single word, that means I have solved racism and don’t have to worry about things like zoning laws or inequities in public education, because addressing those things might mean I’d have to actually give something up and I don’t want to do that!

Sorry for the stream of consciousness.[/quote]

A freaking men. I live in DC. I’m often in the room with liberal white racists. Why are they putting on this show online? When we all know if there is ever a strife over resources white women are the first ones to revert to 1960.[/quote]
