      Like if a farmer, who is Black - they are not uncommon - says their white friends shouldn't refer to them working in the fields, or even a Black culture scholar or ANYONE I can be sure isn't just repeating stuff they heard from the Discourse Mill, fine. I'll eat my words

      But come on people. Look at this, on the surface. Think critically for one second. Does the concept that in referring to a Black farmer a white person should not refer to them being in the fields - a place which all farms have and where all farmers must go - make any sense?

      Yes...why not just say he's "on the farm?" "In the fields" has some pretty specific connotations, like there's literally a whole team "field slaves"

      And, crucially, if this came up three days ago in a different context, like your friend Steve who is a Black farmer was at work and your friend Tom said he figured he wasn't answering his phone because he was "in the fields right now," would you have dressed down Tom for that?

      Did Noelle have a black friend named Steve? Like this wasn't a convo about real people it was throwing around shitty jokes with a racist undertone, it's okay to admit that, even if there are outside agitators keeping this going it doesn't make the initial comment NOT insensitive

      What was the racist undertone? Like seriously? It was literally a joke about the source material they were stuck with, which was a dude named Bow who uses a bow, and how obviously that must have been a name scheme used by the parents I'm kind of shocked you're taken in by this

      Again, I'm not saying there aren't people capitalizing on this, I am saying that the joke isn't inherently harmless even if there was no intent to harm, it's like calling a black adult male character "boy" cause his brothers are Roy and Troy

      *how*? It's already an absurd joke, where the people are defined by their profession being their name. Is "Black farmer" off limits? Like, this is not something that has *ever* come up before today

      I believe Lido means specifically to suggest there’s the potential for unfortunate implications given the exact phrasing of “in the fields” over eg “on the farm”, in this context, not the concept of a farmer who is Black?

      The specific phrasing was "likes to till the fields"

          And that is significantly less fungible with other things that can be said! …Which means one question worth it is “so why rephrase”, especially when we already know there were other false reports of “verbatim” quotes (cheers)

          Because if that one’s common and it’s provable that for this -and- the Double Trouble thing people consistently reported different word-for-word statements /as the potentially-innocuous alleged original quote/ than were said, that’s evidence

          I mean, I really, really would never have thought to even question if that was an okay thing to say. My extended family's from the deep south and I've overheard racist conversations, and I'm not gonna repeat them but there's certain farm activities they associate w black people

          But not tilling fields I really didn't want to wade into this. I suppose I'm out of my lane, but the lanes are being redirected by hostile forces and I'm trying to point that out

          Replying to @arthur_affect @chrysopoetics and

          notably, tilling the fields is the thing you do for the sake of sowing the seeds, and is therefore the right choice for the pun name of Bow’s farming brother. literally none of the joke is premised on or requires race to work. it works *exactly the same* if Sow is white.

          This is why I say it’s at worst a faux pas, like using the word for miserly that has been largely deprecated because it “sounds wrong.” It’s not that that word, or that the joke, are racist. It’s that someone might infer racism from them and so one walks carefully.
