Yeah, gives one pause doesn't it? Can't even name a colour outright but have to use a descriptor instead such as "a blend of red, green, indigo" or "on the internal side of anal sphincter" type of darkness.

Sufficiently advanced incompetence is indistinguishable from malice. There’s a certain point at which ignorance becomes malice, at which there is simply no way to become THAT ignorant except deliberately and maliciously.

Ahem, asking LANDM if he is merely monetarily motivated is offensive to all those who know him to be very alturistic, and from his he keeps watch over those who wander into politically incorrect territory. Good thing "darkie" humour is not a thing.
As WW3 develops, no one is going to be dissing the "preppers." What have you done?

Alturistic? Is that an Italian word incorporating something to do with tourists?

London cyclists too white, male and middle class, says capital's cycling chief in vow to tackle diversity 'problem'
Will Norman promises action as figures show black, Asian and minority ethnic groups account for just 15 per cent of the city’s cycle trips
Too few women and people from ethnic minority groups cycle in London and more must be done to promote diversity among a largely white, male and middle class biking community, the city’s walking and cycling commissioner has said.
Grand schemes, such as the Cycle Superhighway network of partially-segregated routes linking the suburbs with the centre, are too often perceived as simply a way of getting “middle-aged men cycling faster around the city”, Will Norman acknowledged.
He said he was considering setting diversity targets for London’s cycling population to ensure progress was achieved.

Clearly these people don't have enough to do. This is almost as dumb as Stockholm changing their plowing cycles so that they plow bike lanes first, because plowing roads first is "sexist", as more women cycle in Stockholm to work than men, while men drive cars.
So thousands of people who take public transit can't get to work in snowstorms as the plows are out plowing bike lanes. This is how dumb PC nonsense can get.

Former TV CEO Says U.S. Should Ban ‘Straight White Males from Voting’
WASHINGTON – Steven Clifford, author and former CEO of the King Broadcasting Company and National Mobile Television, told PJM that the federal government should “prohibit straight white males from voting” in U.S. elections as a way to “save” democracy.
“I think it’s the only hope for democracy in America and I will be leading a great movement to prohibit straight white males, who I believe supported Donald Trump by about 85 percent, from exercising the franchise and I think that will save our democracy,” Clifford said during an interview after speaking at the forum “Destroying the Myths of Market Fundamentalism,” which was organized by the Center for Study of Responsive Law – a group former independent presidential candidate Ralph Nader founded in 1968.
Clifford, author of the book CEO Pay Machine: How it Trashes America and How to Stop it, urged Democrats to explain their policy proposals to voters rather than focus on the reasons they oppose President Trump.

Oh just stop it with the ridiculousness. Who the hell is that guy and get him off his fifteen too long minutes of fame for uttering the stupidist thing possible.
No one is hoping white men can't vote some day.
Utterly stupid to even entertain this anything other than the stupidist idea or utterence since Trump's last speech.

Actually, HuffPo had an article saying this very thing last year and they were CRUCIFIED for it. They had to take it down and issue an apology.

I've seen this sentiment posted a fair bit on Twitter, usually by white feminists (although the Huff article was a black woman).

When we start acknowledging the legitimacy of this kind of 'agenda serving propaganda' we are venturing dangerously close to, at best, a future vigilante / fractured based democracy and at worst, an all out immigration purge. Neither of which we can afford. Fortunately those of us with common sense can recognize this as just another moron looking for attention.

Elderly 'pillar of the community' is questioned by police as a hate criminal after 'beeping her horn at a slow motorist who happened to be black'
Anthony Stansfeld, the police commissioner for Thames Valley , has called for a review of hate crime laws
An elderly woman had to be questioned as a hate criminal after beeping her car horn at a black driver due to existing rules, a police commissioner says.
Hate crime regulations forced police to quiz the pensioner under caution because the other driver reported it as one, said Anthony Stansfeld, the commissioner for Thames Valley.
The other driver was "taking ages" at a petrol station, so the woman, in her seventies, beeped her horn to get her to move, he revealed.
Mr Stansfeld described the woman as a "pillar of society" and called for a review of current rules after the woman had to be questioned on suspicion of a hate crime.
He told the Sunday Times that current laws mean detectives have to investigate anything that is “perceived” to be a hate crime, which could result in “huge injustices”.
He added: "It was an absolute classic. An elderly couple turned up at a petrol station and there was a woman who had filled up with petrol in front of them.

Now it's 'snowPEOPLE' not 'snowmen'! Furious parents blast BBC bosses after CBeebies show uses 'politically correct' language to 'indoctrinate' children
The BBC have sparked a fierce debate after a new children's TV show used the term "snowpeople" instead of snowmen.
Catie Munnings, 20, who presents Catie's Amazing Machines on CBeebies, said during a recent episode: "Snow is amazing. You get to build snowpeople and go sledging."
However, not everyone agreed with the presenter using the politically correct term.
One dad, Simon Gurd, fumed on Twitter: "Put CBeebies on for my daughter and they are referring to 'snow people'. More PC garbage and indoctrination from the BBC. Another reason to abolish the licence fee."
Another dad named Chris said: "Got cbeebies on for the kids, talking about snow and how you can build "snow people" so we can't even say snowman now more".
However, while some blasted the use of gender-neutral term, many backed a campaign last winter which claimed using the term "snowman" is outdated.
It came amid numerous movements to increase awareness around gender-fluid and non-binary people.
One parent wrote on social media: "Do I want to build a snowman? no , but I'm down for building a genderless snow figure".
Another said: "Our kids had a great day building snowpeople."
Piers Morgan, who is frequently outspoken about gender-neutral terms, got in on the debate tweeting: "Right, I’m off to build a non-binary gender fluid snowperson".

‘Long time, no see’ is considered offensive language at Colorado State University
At Colorado State University (CSU), administrators have designated the common greeting “long time, no see” as non-inclusive language.
That’s according to a student, Katrina Leibee, who writes for the campus paper, The Rocky Mountain Collegian. Leibee met with Zahra Al-Saloom, director of diversity and inclusion at CSU, who showed her a list of terms and phrases considered contrary to the university’s mission of fostering inclusion.
“One of these phrases was ‘long time, no see,’ which is viewed as derogatory towards those of Asian descent,” wrote Leibee.
