Maybe the solution is to stay off Twitter, but it’s very disturbing to see the normalization of slurs happening in real time on there. White people saying the n-word with approval, the return of saying “gay” as a pejorative, lots of casual racism against Indian men, using the r-slur to describe something seen as stupid. I don’t know whether this is a larger cultural lurch to the right, or whether it’s mostly attributed to Musk’s elimination of quality control and monitors on the platform.

    Yeah, not white myself but a white buddy of mine said some random customer was complaining to him about the new Spider-Man game having an N-word protagonist…wild what people feel comfortable saying to strangers.
