Hey, the name 100% comes from racist origins. And I think that maybe, coming from the UK (the master of imperialism, colonialism, and slavery based on skin color), MAYBE this would have racism rooted in it too. “It’s not used offensively” isn’t the take you think it is 1/? https://twitter.com/lucelovelace/status/1390830429444444163
I CANNOT believe you rt’ed my tweet claiming that I’m targeting harassment at people, completely missing the point, and speaking OVER a WOMAN OF COLOR AND THE PERSON ACTUALLY AFFECTED BY THE RACIST TERM. it wasn’t just Paige’s use of it, but also her response. It was telling 2/?

I’m continuing to talk about this bc there was NO accountability made and Paige is continuing to try to build a platform and relationships with people who might want to know what exactly happened earlier this year. Y’all need to realize there are consequences 4/?

It’s racist. That’s it. End of story. NO DEBATE. and Paige admitted it too, saying she didn’t know the racist origin as well. IT IS RACIST AND HAS RACIST IMPLICATIONS ABOUT ASIAN PEOPLE KNOWING ENGLISH. ARE YOU PURPOSEFULLY BEING STUPID. I’m done. Goodnight /end.
