Ethan Sears and The New York Post seem to have skated by a charge of racism.
This isn't easy when the PC POLICE are out in force, and NIKE gets stabbed in the back by their very own Colin Kaepernick for using that RACIST Betsy Ross American Flag on their product.
RACIST! RACIST!
RAH RAH RAH!
What an UNFORTUNATE use of the phrase "CARBON COPY" in writing about Coco, the BLACK teenage tennis sensation.
Look at how ETHAN SEARS described Coco, in relation to another black tennis star, Venus Williams!
Oh. One BLACK woman is a CARBON COPY of another.
Ethan, don't you know that the term "CARBON COPY" is now offensive?
What would Colin Kaepernick say?
He'd say that it reminds him of slavery and racial slurs, and that if there was still a company manufacturing carbon paper, he'd go over and take a knee in front of their door.
Hell, you don't even see THIS movie displayed in stores:
OFFENSIVE. It be racist.
Oh, not like the Wayans Bros. doing their movie "White Chicks." Whiteface is HILARIOUS.
Am I being petty and silly here?
Not any more than the PC police, who are being PETTY and DANGEROUS.
Do you remember a guy named Anthony Federico?
He was FIRED by ESPN for writing a RACIST HEADLINE about the Asian basketball player Jeremy Lin.
Federico? HE BE RACIST, y'all.
CHINK in the armor? Young Anthony Federico apologized for not hanging out with bigots, and not watching Archie Bunker on "All in the Family" order "Chink take-out." The kid really had no idea "chink" did NOT merely refer to a "flaw," and that "chink in the armor," like "CARBON COPY," might throw PC knickers into a twist.
Frantic was fired, and his excuse was hotly denied by both Jeremy Lin and by Rep. Judy Chu, a Democrat from California.
We are living in a schizoid world where the President can say racist and sexist things, and do them, but nobody else. It's ok for the KKK and the Nazis to march up and down the street with overt banners of hate and racism, but if Bill Maher makes an N-word joke he's barely saved from being fired as long as a few black guests come on the show and slap him around verbally and make him stutter and turn pale. Paler. Palest.
You got away with it THIS time, New York Post, but really, get yourselves some copy editors. Maybe get the proofreaders who were laid off at the Daily News and the London Daily Mail because "their" vs "they're" is no big deal. (But do not run a photo caption of Khloe when it's Kourtney!)
