This is a ridiculous euphemism that makes this site look daft.

Its called "irony" as the differences between the two groups could not be in more stark contrast. Irony is often a component of "humor."

Also, given on-line censorship (not on FR) such terms are often necessary to have one's post stay visible.

It's also just puerile and has NOTHING at all to do with censorship. Nobody uses a slue by posting "black". If that were the case, most of the news articles, posted here, would be censored.

And it isn't "humor" because it isn't 'funny".

I was just posting my opinion; you're posting excuses for something that is now rather ridiculous. And yes, I do know that my post will be ignored and this euphemism shall be continued usage here.

OTOH...I wonder what the black/bi-racial, and brown FREEPERS think of its usage.

It's not fooling anyone.

From 2014: At the Free Republic, ‘Amish’ is code for an anti-black slur.
