In the Lee essay he talks a bit about his friend who says to him, “I think white people are just better” and then has a mental break.

“this is a crazy-making environment” — we call each other hysterical, we call each other crazy, we call each other gooks.

I thought a lot about how the click-centric, ad-driven model of journalism had broken down the marketplace of ideas.

There are a lot of click-centric publications out there, & a great many would never, ever publish something with “gooks” in the headline.
