@JessTheUnstill @inthehands After seeing this dynamic play out multiple times with words or expressions that seem neutral to positive to me*, my increasingly common addition to "fsck racism and white supremacy" is "in addition to all the other awful shit they do, they eat otherwise useful words and phrases and turn them into racist garbage."

* one of the more recent ones, and a clear example: discontinuing the former standard default name for git repository branches. That was an easy change for me to make, but I've run into too many white folks who have trouble understanding why it's important.
