Yeah, and I want them to ban the word Whitey, but they probably won’t!
I want them to ban the word cracker on the boxes and start calling them “butter crisps.”
” Yeah, and I want them to ban the word Whitey, but they probably won’t! “
Years ago, my wife found a stray kitten in the woods behind our house.
He was all white and obviously very sick.
She rushed him to our vet and part of the exam was a blood draw which had to be sent out to an outside lab.
A name was needed on the blood work and off the top of her head, she said since he’s one color-put down Whitey.
Well, the next day the lab called the vet and said the name “ Whitey “ was racist
and was offensive to the techs doing the tests.
So, we had to add an N and he became Whitney.
But, only on paper , we always called him Whitey.
