  • While I appreciate the anger please consider that “mediocre <ethnicity>” is not a very nice way to phrase this.

    They are using the original title of the article. As per the sidebar rules - “Preserve the original title when possible.”

    Also given the recent demographic pole there are many “white” people here who are likely on your side. It particularly hurts when people on your side use language like this.

    To be honest, I don’t find this phrasing nearly as harmful as people of color being told for decades that they weren’t as qualified or deserving to be admitted into Ivy League schools compared to white applicants and that the only reason they were “allowed” is because of their race. Nor does it really compare to the harm caused by decades of subjugation, discrimination, and generational wealth disparity.
