Um. That is a seriously misleading tweet image crop of an email that has been WIDELY circulated today:

Not sure how this in any way refutes humanity’s lack of creativity when it comes to place names.

Yeah I mean that lolly is totally the wrong color first of all.

Ha, I’m reading the stories now and she couldn’t possibly come off as more of a monster. I’m an idiot.

Genuinely curious: What other word would be preferable? To me, “workers” means “people who work.” I don’t necessarily think there’s any implication of wages there. Obviously, the work done by slaves wasn’t done by their choice, but they were primarily (forcibly) brought over to (forcibly) work.

No way, that would require a lot more than 30 showers afterwards!

What a fucking strange thing to complain about. Always has to be something.

I’m sorry wisht, I can’t get behind this. Rape by deception?! No. No no no.

He’s so edgy!

Whoa, wait, what’s wrong with Jewfro? How else can I describe my hair? Einstein-esque? Slightly kinky super curly very frizzy? I’m not appropriating anything but the “fro” phoneme here, my hair sans a perm is kinky and curly and when untamed, is very much like a natural or Afro style.

The debate champion in me can't help but also remember a time when this Bush/Chimp meme was going around... I get that there's a whole other layer of wrong when equating "monkey" with race, but we weren't exactly respectful to Bush, either.
