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."

Grasping at straws. When the left uses these words they are not racist. When we use them then, pf course they are racist as are the words “of” and “the.”

the benediction at the inauguration of Barack Hussein Obama:

When I read about this sewage of a benediction the next day in the daily rag I thought, “Even God must be rolling His eyes at this one.”.

"So I'm walking around and seeing some good people, and I see white people, Black people, brown people, yellow people."

Greene's use of the phrase "yellow people" is itself a racist trope, critics pointed out.

OH, F*CK OFF!

They do not know what a ‘dial’ is either, on a telephone or a TV or radio, or as a verb.............................

It’s not racist if they call themselves that. The blacks established that clearly, I thought.

I like that she “goes there” as most have been frightened away, not her :)

Boston’s new mayor is an Asian leftist named Michelle Wu. And of course all the leftist news stations in town fall over themselves labeling her as the first woman of color elected mayor of Boston. I just wish somebody would ask them what color she is.

During the Vietnam War Era, a common antiwar accusation was: "This war is about the White Man, sending the Black Man, to fight the Yellow Man, to protect land that was stolen from the Red Man."

I guess they thought that was clever.

IAE, the Left did not consider yellow or red to be racist terms back then.

Jesus loves the little children, all the children of the world. Red and yellow, black and white, all are precious in his sight. Jesus loves the little children of the world. George Takei doesn’t get to tell me who is a racist.

“So why does the racist business insider only capitalize one race?”

MTG should have capitalized yellow... then her speech would have been OK, right?

Business Insider is a bunch of lying leftist pigs.

I’ll bet there are millions of people under age 30 who silently wonder why we use the expression;
“Dial a number”. The only ‘Dial’ they know of is Dial Soap.

Red and yellow, black and white, they are precious in his sight.
