NYT Reporters Create A List Of Racial Terms They Find Offensive
NYT Reporters Create A List Of Racial Terms They Find Offensive
quote:
A group of New York Times journalists released a list of racial terms they find “bothersome” Sunday.
NYT’s Race/Related team included terms like”ethnic,” person of color” and “illegal immigrant” among those they found slightly offensive.
John Eligon, the paper’s national correspondent, found “ethnic”a troublesome term because it “normalizes” whiteness.
“What makes a black person ethnic but a white person not? On the one hand, this is the normalization of whiteness – if you are not white, then you are something else,” Eligon explained. “On the other hand, it speaks to how uncomfortable some people are even to discuss race.”

Isn't person of color the same damn thing as colored person?

What planet does ethnic only refer to non-whites? These people have bad friends.

WTF? I thought "person of color" was all the rage these days among SJWs.
Goodness gracious, these clowns can't even stay on the same page for more than a couple of months.

yeah they were not too kind to the black girl in that. Immigrant is the keyword they want to be taboo, they just had to throw in all the others.

I find the term "cracka-arse-cracka" offensive to proper language usage.

Racism has always been a tool of liberals. It's used to gain power and as a blunt tool of force against enemies. Its goal isn't to actually make black peoples' lives better.

Is white boy on the list?
Posted on 3/27/17 at 3:49 pm to cajunangelle
if they didn't include "white boy" the list is shite and I refuse to recognize it.
im sure black people would be upset if we called them "black boy" with the same tone they say "white boy"

Ive given up trying to find rationality among crazy leftists

I can't be the only person who does this... am I?
When black people talk about other white people directly or indirectly as white boy I don't care a bit.
When new people meet me and if that comes my way, I shut it down. Boy? I'm a man. My child is mixed. Ain't no white boy round here.
It's 100% a respect thing.

illegal immigrant
If my white arse walks into another country, I'd be an illegal immigrant. It's not a race, it's a legal status.

I am offended because it caused dyslexia to read it. I am suing I need a lawyer.
