It is not really a widely stigmatized slur because to swathes of the Indian-American community being called white is the opposite of offensive
Well you specifically are just that powerful sir
I think any idea that the average Hexbear user thinks of as oversaturated is probably all new to a general audience.
You see with 38% blaming Trump it is easy for Dems to turn things around and win
They don't catch it when they do this, but they feel a pleasing rush of serotonin each time they reaffirm to themselves that they have class. It is a drug, if we manage to ween them off it so much more would get done.
The whole goddamn point of the Lincoln Project was that they made the dirty ads Dems were too scared to make. If Dems don't at least get that in exchange for whitewashing elite neocon war mongers, they need to be disbanded as a party.
Who else here is a true MAGA patriot and SICK of their mixed race dominatrix never letting them CUM even once??
Yeah, it had a trite take on racism and arguably used Tulsa as a setting for stylistic reasons only, but just structurally speaking the episodes are beautifully crafted, and how the climax unfolded felt exactly like how it felt reading the climax of the graphic novel.

That episode of South Park where Richard Dawkins freaks out when he finds out his girlfriend Mrs. Garrison was trans, and unravels his budding atheist world empire because of this, was so prescient.
But here's my attempt at figuring out what happened. Those anti-evangelical British Lib Dem/Labour atheists (e.g., Richard Dawkins, Graham Linehan, Ayaan Hirsi Ali, Stephen Fry, Maajid Nawaz John Cleese, Ricky Gervais) who were so beloved by libs in the Bush and early Obama eras, splintered from the younger liberals/leftists on the degree to which the west should tolerate Muslims, and attributed this split to younger people's obsessions with "political correctness." They began bleeding their following, and got extremely obsessed with affecting a "nuanced intellectual" persona and reveling in their persecution complex by going "I'm as liberal as they come but the modern left is doing ____ too much and is even calling ME a racist and sexist!"
The alt-right/chuds/Conservative dark money network loved hearing this shit and started glomming onto these people, because their movement was dying and needed a less cringe, marginally more secular sheen. Suddenly these atheist personalities found that their cries about political correctness on videos/podcasts would always garner a huge response (even if it's from the right), and so started playing this shit up more. Around the same time JK Rowling was getting obsessed with twitter because she regularly dunked on Trump and got fawned over by Tumblr-types. However, as she reveled daily in adoration, once she did get criticisms about her trepidation towards trans people and Jeremy Corbyn, it was like turning off her pleasure tap, and drove her insane.
All this converged in the form of bitter Brit atheists backing JK Rowling because of their shared animosity toward the younger left's "coddling" and "cancel culture" (i.e. not thinking they were the ideological vanguard anymore). Once Caitlin Flanagan's article "The Coddling of the American Mind" framed this behavior of the younger left as an open academic inquiry issue, a new collective of influential "anti-PC" web personalities was born.
The Brit libs became willing to do anything to stick it to the young people who didn't like them anymore, and began jamming up liberal spaces with claims that reducing racist/transphobic literature from college syllabi was hindering "free inquiry" and "intellectual growth." This got them invites to Real Time with Bill Maher, JRE, and the Rubin Report, and even suckered many liberal/leftist comedians/academics like Whitney Cummings/Kumail Nanjiani/Zizek/Finkelstein. So they just stayed stuck like this and helped portray Rowling as a martyr, and "serious concerns" about the "excess" of trans rights became the mainstream UK culture among even the Labour Party, subsequently even echoed and appreciated by Hillary Clinton.

I mean it is myopic but I get how it arises. If a suburban Afro-Carribbean lady goes downtown and is sexually harassed by some overfamiliar black dude with "no home training" it will color her perceptions of working class black Americans in the same way it would shape a suburban white person's perception. And for black immigrants to America and suburban black Americans things like code switching, having non-stereotypically-black hobbies or fraternizing with white/non-black people extensively are not inaccessible or taboo things, so such people more easily navigate spaces where jobs and opportunities for wealth are more plentiful.
It's myopic to pin all this on Black American "culture" of course because Black Americans are a people who have never had sovereignty or been the stewards of their collective destiny, and most of the "negative" behaviors blamed on "culture" are downstream from generations of targeted segregation/economic deprivation. But I do think if the white liberal/leftist response when say, there is a viral video of a group of black kids beating on a white kid is only silence, apologism, or tiptoeing, then the angry conservative response even while racially charged is sometimes actually closer to what middle class black Americans/Black immigrants actually want to say about such an event and it's participants.
There needs to be a frank but forward moving vision involving some sort of direct reparations and mending the faults caused by historical race riots/redlining, to actually resolve key issues surrounding "Foundational Black American" neighborhoods.
