Which does not in any way translate into 4chan-style "edgy and racist" being in any way mainstream, let alone "as mainstream as it gets."
- ceejayoz 3y agoNo, for that you've gotta go a little further, to things like Congressmen using the term "colored people" on the House floor. https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/rep-eli-crane-refers-black-americans-colored-people-house-floor-rcna94200 https://www.nbcnews.com/politics/congress/rep-eli-crane-refe...
- tivert 3y agoSorry, but I think you're confused about what "mainstream" is. Some congressional back-bencher saying something controversial, which we walked back and was then immediately stricken from the record is not proof a thing is mainstream. In fact, it's proof that it's not. And we're talking about 4chan here, and wouldn't they just use the n-word?
