Thanks to @MrWildstyle and @MrKinetik for bringing this to my attention. As the digital editor of @IndyMonthly, I am the one who assigned this article and published the story. I am also the one who shared this tweet over the weekend. https://twitter.com/MrWildstyle/status/1264913325374296064">https://twitter.com/MrWildsty...
While attempting to highlight the features of homes for sale and encouraging folks of being neighborly during isolation, language used within the article and the social sharing of it had unintentional racial overtones.
That certainly wasn& #39;t my intention, but I realize that language matters. I am in a position of privilege and I should have known better. My goal with digital coverage with the magazine has always been to be as representative of the entire city as possible. Here, I failed.
I hear you, I see you, I& #39;m sorry for my mistake. I promise to be more thoughtful and considerate.
