Gargamel Gibson posted:The Spanish word negro definitely isn't pronounced "nay-gro" though. Depending on the accent it's close enough and way closer than the "knee-grow" pronunciation American racists use when referring to Black people.

I know they're just listing previous Republican presidents, but imagine Stanning for George Bush Sr. Every other one is terrible in their own way, but I understand being an evil person and liking them, George HW Bush?

The conversation about the appropriateness of the word has been driven into the ground, but I guarantee you that many Americans, likely the majority, for the past 40 years or so have been unaware that it has roots in describing any sort of actual condition.

It's just probably something that's been driven into the ground while being mis-defined, like "gaslighting". (Your partner lying to you about something is not automatically gaslighting, for example.)

EL BROMANCE posted:Pinned tweet made me laugh when combined with that one. Can someone be canceled for not giving respect to Ted Lasso? I hope so! The problem with Ted Lasso twitter discourse is that season one was in my mind was about as perfect as a show can get. Season 2 was a huge misstep, but the lovers refuse to say it's anything but as brilliant, even though there were obvious issues that they refuse to want to talk about. Those posters are usually classic liberals, in the dumbest sense of the word.

Right. with twitter though, clearly that's generally not the problem. Everyone online too much is very, very rarely too positive. It's almost constant double checking you don't offend anyone, you have to be as "woke" (I mean that in the negative since, not in it's original meaning that has been co opted). as possible, and it's super dumb.
