Like... your client is about ending bias and racism yes here you are being biased and racist. Not to mention real condescending to me!!
Where does this "all people: black, white, purple, green" shit comes from? Who the fuck is purple? Oh the people in your imagination.

And then, to top it all off, @KristiPublicist has the gall to try to suggest I'm stupid, writing: "I'm sorry you didn’t take it that way."
First of all, @KristiPublicist, do not ever apologize for me doing or not doing something. You don't have that authority over me.
And, clearly, if anyone missed anything, @KristiPublicist, it's you. Maybe read your client's book, learn how to check your own privilege.
