      So here’s my current question: as folks like @sethdmichaels have noted, the conceit that telling folks that something Trump (or anyone else) said was racist would “turn off” voters doesn’t seem to apply voters who also endure racism and racist attacks. Why?

      What are non-white voters supposed to do here, non-white voters for whom racism is not just a bread-and-butter issue, but enmeshed within all of the other ones (from healthcare to the economy)?

      As always, this is a genuine, good-faith question about which I am genuinely curious.

      I don't have an answer but @BenjySarlin tweeted some stuff last year that maybe he could expound on. He said something about white middle America seeing the culture change so fast (e.g. gay marriage) that they're worried about suddenly being bigots w/o even a chance to adjust?

      That is, some form of feeling suddenly 'canceled' because a conversation that moved so fast you didn't even participate in it left you behind. It makes them feel, idk exactly--Benjy did the interviews and I'd be interested if this is at all relevant.

      The speed with which even people with solidly progressive credentials & education get abruptly declared Problematic is terrifying, all the moreso to people not acculturated in the Byzantine world of academic intersectionality. It's like Sam Gamgee dining at Downton.

          But again, that doesn’t answer my question about outreach or concerns about “turning off” black voters.

          Replying to @janecoaston @cjane87 and

          The problem is 1) the massive overuse of the term like racism, 2) the bait-&-switch nature of definitions of the term, 3) the death-sentence nature of being branded that way in the modern workplace & 4) the constant shifting goalposts. None of which, tbf, 1 person can control.

          I mean, you've got two options right? Try to stay ahead of the wave by taking on increasingly baroque academic notions as scientific truth or just saying "Nope, I'm off this ride."

          But again, black voters and non-white voters aren’t living in a vacuum, but we aren’t talking about them.

          No, telling POCs to “go back to their home country” has been racist for a LONG time.
