Going to do a thread on some WILD admissions by New York Times staff that show how wildly out of touch they are with America, biology, and basically the entire world
Starting off with how they admit they want to erase pregnant women
(1/x)
Here, one of their editors admits she won’t use the term “pro-life”…because that’s not the preferred term of the left, which is obviously their entire readership
(2/x)
Here, they discuss the term “master bedroom,” and admit the term has nothing to do with slavery, but that they understand why people would be triggered and want to stop using it anyway
(3/x)
Here, another writer says it’s “interesting” that 80% of people across all races use the term “master bedroom,” which the New York Times’s own reporting confirms is in no way problematic if you have 5+ brain cells (I understand this disqualifies much of their readership)

On immigration, one NYT editor thought it was a “curveball” to learn that over half of America uses the term “illegal alien.”
“I thought most people had stopped using this term.”

There’s a lot going on here
This editor was “surprised” to learn that ~75% of Americans use the term “third world country,” which she calls demeaning.
This is exactly who I would expect reads WHO reports and thinks that represents how normal people speak

In dismissing the term BIPOC, one of the NYT writers says that it “sounds like the name of a disease” or a type of sexuality
(7/x)
Here the NYT editor acknowledges that fake women term Latinx is not used by anyone—and that Latinos are the least surprised by this reality
(8/x)
This observation from @JohnHMcWhorter is true: “a certain sliver of our population will control a rich jargon of prescribed terms, of little import to most people.”
