Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene of Georgia attracted criticism for using a term widely seen as a racial slur in boasting of the racial diversity those who support former President Donald Trump.
Greene, an outspoken Republican champion of Trump, made the comments at the weekend conference of the conservative Turning Point USA youth movement.
"When I walked in yesterday, I was like, what kind of people come here?" Greene said. "So I'm walking around and seeing some good people, and I see white people, Black people, brown people, yellow people."

She can’t win.
The headline is a malicious lie. There is no way in hell anybody could mistake that for a “racial slur” unless they were making the mistake on purpose to smear someone (excepting maybe people unfamiliar with American English or who were severely mentally handicapped). Its shameful. I refuse to think the reporter is that stupid.
Everything is racist to whiny leftists.
What a miserable bunch they are.
I am 76. In all my life I have seen ONLY one man or woman I could say looked black, and he was a scholar from India. Call me a Caucasian, or if it fits your view call me a cracker. I don’t care, but this racial absurdity over mere words currently destroying society is demonic, IMHO. And don’t get me started on the low IQ use of transgender. Ain’t no such animal in reality. If you doubt me, look at the genes of the person in question. The demon rat party is succeeding beyond their wildest dreams at dividing the American people against one another. SPJNK
Critics are asses. They call it mellow yellow.
So why does the racist business insider only capitalize one race?
Did she say the word Teen, or Youth, or A Man or something?
Ugh she used the W word, white people.
When you have a hammer, everything is a nail
The only racism I see is the capitalization of 'black' in the BI article.
Tom Porter must be a racist because he capitalized “Black”, but not “brown”!
M.T. is..green.
Oh wait ..never mind
John Lennon, married to Yoko Ono, must have been racist!

For black and for white
For yellow and red ones
Let’s stop all the fight”

LOL, I work with a young guy who is a late Gen Y early Millenial, and one day we discussed going to “The Yellow House” for Chinese food. It is in a historic house that has always been yellow, and everyone has always referred to it as “The Yellow House”.
Heh, in all seriousness, he said “That’s racist.” and I admit I didn’t know if he was serious or not, but who can tell?
Also, another time further in the past, I was working on something and, holding my hand out said “Can you hand me a pair of dykes?”
After a second or two where no diagonal cutters were forthcoming, I looked at him expectantly, and his face was frozen. Uncomprehendingly, I said “What’s wrong? What is it?”
And he said “You said a word!”
I still completely did not get what the issue was...:)
I know I should be irritated, but...retelling it makes me grin.
Kind of like the time I was teaching a bunch of students about radio buttons in a program back at the end of the 20th Century in a computer class, saying “like those radio buttons in a car where if you push one in, the previous selection pops out so you can only choose one at a time...” and as I looked at the slack-jawed face of one of the girls sitting at the front of the class, it occurred to me “She has no idea what “radio buttons” are in a car!”
She had never seen them before!
