Ugh this article is an astonishingly offensive take. Claiming that POC on social media are “rude,” and “attention-seeking,” that The alt-right trolls are the “monster they created,” and that ISXX board members are the real victims, etc. it’s tone-policing and victim blaming.

And this conversation seems to be centring a nebulous “the public” rather than the BIPOC scholars here, ignoring the fact that the public also includes BIPOC who are harmed through the continued use of the term. The public engagement stuff isn’t being ignored, it never was.

That’s excellent, I would like to know more about that public engagement if you’d be willing to share, be ngaged in that effort more. I find that everyone I talk to about this off twitter has no idea this is going on at all until I bring it up. That’s what concerns me

Fair enough, I should have used a different word. The abuse is still an issue.
