That sounds way better than the abridged version, not gonna lie. I mean it's obvious she's just ignorant about it, which makes a witch hunt all the more ridiculous

MTE

she didn't make a blanket statement, she said something dumb about a specific show

Apparently part of the problem is her usage of the word "blacks", which she tried to explain as it being a part of the older SJ vocabulary she had learned, and she hadn't heard it was now offensive, but that wasn't good enough either.

And honestly, I can't blame her? Like, just since I joined the internet:

- Trans* has gone from being the right way to do things to being transphobic

- Queer is becoming more reclaimed, and less of a slur online (though it's still a slur in many places, I'm not trying to deny that), to the point where I've seen people argue that, if you're not okay with "queer", you're actually cis/het, no matter how you identify

- Using the term "color" to refer to POC's was considered abhorrent (the correct term of "African American"... Even when the person in question wasn't American), but now POC is the "correct" terminology

So many changes in so little time.

I find it quite funny actually. It's like Stalinist or Maoist orthodoxy. Trans* is revisionist and incompatible with Marxist historical materialist science!

Afaik POC is slowly falling from grace as well? I have seen people make arguments against it, at least.

Are they doing it in a "When talking about a specific race, name that race, don't tiptoe around it?" (which is fair) Or a new argument.

Good. I've always hated that stupid fucking term. It's hardly any different to coloreds and deserves to be kicked out.

Didn't Benedict Cumberbatch get lambasted recently for using "colored"?

I admit that baffled me a bit since POC is the standard term in SJ circles. Or is there a difference between "of color" and "colored"?

The term colored is basically what white people called us...pardon the monolithic take for a moment, but POC is something we picked ourselves. People is first, not color.

Something that American POC picked out for themselves, and only some people. Not necessarily something the rest of us like to use but god forbid you don't use American tumblr words for minorities.

That's a point too.

Is there some group of minorities out there that's chosen to use the term colored to refer to themselves? I hadn't heard of it.

A few African American organizations still use 'colored' and 'negro' in their titles. I think it's partially a nod to their historical roots, but also because iirc black activists back in the day actually coined those terms and paved the way for their use as respectful words for black people in America.

Yeah but anon couldn't be the groups that anon is referring to, because those are the American minorities that have rejected the term and not the non-American minorities that they're appealing to, and also because those are kind of just well-known edge cases.

The only solution is to stop caring.
