Seriously. Do we HAVE to call them “Great WHITES”?

Yes, I am greatly offended that one of the most aggressive predators on the planet is called a "GReat White". Sure, it's the Great White oppressors again. How racist.

I think we should object vehemently and strenuously to get their name changed. I mean - they're ACTUALLY light grey. This Great White stuff just helps reinforce stereotypes fosters racist attitudes and diminishes us as Caucasians.

Man, you are so right. We need to lobby for change. Perhaps Biden can head up the committee to change the name to the great grey shark, so as not to offend.

Remember the hullabaloo over using the phrase "black hole" as a scientific term?

BTW, that reminds me that I am offended by the phrase "little white lie". I really need to complain to someone about that.
