Let’s also start removing phrases with white, yellow and brown as those are used to refer to people’s skin colour as well.

The only reason I would even contemplate not using blacklist or white washing is if an actual person of that skin colour says that it is not okay for them, or there’s an actual consensus among people of that community that it isn’t acceptable.

I can tell you as a person with brown skin, with brownie or whatever used as a derogatory name, almost everyone I know isn’t even concerned with terms like brown out or brown note.

Online outrages or articles aren’t an accurate depiction of reality.

Even more dangerously, shit like this drives outrage and diverts attention from actual, real issues faced by people of different races. Like not having stuff to eat or indoor plumbing or mental health infrastructure or access to health care.

The only people being outraged are people like you when someone is using a different word.

I watched an ig reel that said people react to anything different to them either with fear or judgement. Get over yourself, have some empathy, and move on.

That’s your take reading a post talking explicitly about how a person won’t be outraged about something without actually taking into consideration how the people who the issues is about feel or act?

Maybe you should stop for a moment, think over what you’ve said and read, and consider that many of these discrimated groups can actually think for ourselves and doesn’t need to be told what to be outraged over?

Ironically you are being very judgemental

Oh shit, well if you watched an Instagram reel then it’s probably true.

Note though how I’m here reacting to something different with neither fear nor judgement, just with sarcasm.
