    It’s actually the comic that coined the term. The creator just, for some reason, decided to use weirdly racial language to depict it, and imply the prejudice is based on evidence.

    Which is kind of weird.

    As is pretending it isn’t, when you could just say “yeah it’s a little problematic” and move on with your life.

      Just an FYI, viewing everything through the lense of “racist/not-racist” is common in the US, and not so much elsewhere.

      Your impression that “pretending it isn’t”, is simply… because it isn’t, for most outside the US.

      Hope that helps clear this up. Learning about new things is always fun, and a good thing. Right?
