Probably Nick wasn’t being intentionally racist there, which is a much more meta statement on a story about people not using language competently in an environment fraught with land mines.

I’m gonna go ahead and bookmark that article so when she gets blown out in 2020 and the president gets a second term I’ll have it handy to respond to the multitudes who wail, “Why do we keep losing?!”
