    Ok, I’m dying. In place of the Black and Tans—the notorious division of the Royal Irish Constabulary—Jeremy Black enlightens us as to the violent role of “the black and trans people”... ...Easter Rising? Or Stonewall Riot? 😂 #proofreadingmatters (as does knowing your subject)pic.twitter.com/zz7zsmbIyu

        The addition of the word 'people' suggests that it was intentional.
