In reply to the discussion: Mob of Karens scream at Florida Commissioners over masks: [View all]whathehell
(30,527 posts)43. I do, and acccording to DU rules, there is no "proper"way
to do it, as it consists of singling out a particular gender and race for a disrespectful nickname, i.e. white women, and, no, "dicks" is not comparable, because, for one thing, it's race neutral.
It's racist and sexist, period. Any in doubt should ask themselves if badly behaved black men should be referred to as "Jamals", or badly behaved black women "Lakeishas".
An honest response to that question should provide some insight.
