quote:“Diamond Joe’s not going to the boneyard without a fight,” added Biden. This entire article is genius. The best part of all is it's not the first time it's happened. R.I.P. Worm, hope you went down swinging with one hand and swigging with the other.

Yeah I mean I sort of get what they were going for here but the joke is really not funny enough to cover for the offensiveness. This is also one where I'm not quite sure how they will walk it back. I mean it's not as though it was just a twitter thing.

I'm actually afraid to share the article. I really want to, though, as I have a few buddies who are all defensive about the name.

They rarely apologize, the only time I can think of in the recent past is when they called a 10 year old a oval office.

He's right, how dare The Onion so off-handedly use such an offensive term like "Redskin"

At least this time it seems like the people who object do so while understanding what the Onion was going for, which is fair. That didn't seem to be the case the previous time when they published an apology.

The Wallis thing was a tweet; it probably made it out because it was spontaneous and not a lot of people had seen it. In this case they must know exactly how close to the line they're treading.

You apparently have a few buddies who might be racist, kind of, so there's that too.
