The Laconia Daily Sun uses wire services for content in their newspaper and that, in part, could explain the cut-and-paste demographic discrimination so rudely displayed. But local entities have the ability to edit what they want in these supplied articles.
Articles and reprint privileges for which they pay. And let’s not worry about the grammar for the moment.
“Arizona county had the largest white, Black, Hispanic growth”
I’m told that Black is used because Blacks are a “marginalized” group. I’m told that Hispanics are a “marginalized” group. But the Left uses those notations as a Collectivist grouping of sometimes non-related folks – it’s only by skin color that one is associated with one of those groups (e.g., black or brown).
The assumption is, regardless of their “origins,” they are all Oppressed groups and therefore, required that their Leftist segregational titles be capitalized so as to point them out more clearly.
It seems that the Associated Press (aka, the AP) is itself discriminatory in its own way by either not being consistent with its spelling of various racial groups or deliberately singling out a particular skin-based group (again, regardless of origin(s)). Are White people no less important to the AP writers and editors than others? And is it the case that many may well be White as they write and edit such pieces and titles? Does that connote some level of self-loathing?
Sorry to burst your bubble but the headline, either right from the AP or by the Laconia Daily Sun editor, is racially discriminatory – ALL races matter.
Unless you want to be a racist yourself.
Note: Just like the silly “womyn” and “Latinx” (which seems to be the spelling that rich white liberal women prefer even as most Latinos hate it), I’ve now see “Whyte” being used.
What, is this now Woke English discrimination against the vowels “i” and “y”? Is this an emerging “grammar racism” I see?
