    She's an open white nationalist.

    How is her being racist any sort of surprise or questioned?

    NGL I initially read this as Magic: The Gathering being racist and was a little confused.

    Of all the things that irritate me about her, the fact that she's often identified by her initials might be the worst.

    People need to adopt more appropriate ways of abbreviating her name. Say something like Moscow Marge.

    White cards have pictures of angels and noble soldiers on them. Black cards have zombies, demons, and grotesques.

    Sounds like "light" and "darkness" clichés, not references to skin pigmentation

    Typically, this is what the cards are themed as, at least the older sets. White and Black are "enemy" colors in Magic: the Gathering after all, same as Red and Blue, Black and Green, etc (based on their position in the MTG color pentagon).

    That said, there were some definitely racist cards that got banned and pulled from databases in 2020, Invoke Prejudice being a notable example.

    It shows a hooded executioner with a black axe. “If opponent casts a Summon spell that does not match the color of one of the creatures under your control, that spell is countered,” says the card. It effectively kills off creatures that don’t look like the creatures already on the table.

    Maybe it’s a “no shit” moment but no elected official has said it publicly before

    To be fair, she’s also really stupid.

    Wow.

    I never could have guessed.

    What a shocking twist.

    Maybe, but calling someone butch as an insult is going to earn her some angry replies from the lgbtq+ community. She should have not responded.
