I noticed major failures to put language in context. For example, "whitespace" isn't racist: there are fundamental physical reasons for paper, vellum, papyrus etc. to be approximately white, and there's no reason to think it refers to people.
- dTal 4y agoIf so many words assign connotations to "white" and "black", indicating a deeply embedded metaphor, perhaps the solution is simply to stop using such loaded and inaccurate word to refer to skin color? They are trying to boil the ocean to preserve a silly convention that was probably racist to begin with.
