If you cannot identify this as a manufactured controversy designed to give voice to racists and to intimidate people from describing racism accurately, quit the fact checking business. Anodyne language doesnt make you more objective, it makes you a vector for bullshit.

Try Harder
(12 posts)As dog is my witness, I will endeavor never to use anodyne language again. (Not that I ever did as the string of shitty exes, shitty people and shitty jobs behind me attest.) Please join me in the pledge. Speak truth and challenge lies loudly.
