He's right in more ways than one there.

It is miraculous that HawaiiYou can read.

I think "Jews" is okay. "The Jews" is where it gets dicey.

There's no chance I'm risking it in this environment unless I'm trying to prove my blackness like RG3. "We stopped by the museum and looked at the accomplishments of _______ and ______. If you're ever in Kansas City, it's a must see."

If by “qualified” you mean capable of completely train wrecking the entire thread, yeah you’re right.

I do this habitually now. The last time I used "Jew" was teaching a class full of Latinos. One asked about a certain essayist, who he was, etc. I said, "Well, he's a Jew," and several of them started the ooh-I-know-I-shouldn't-be-giggling giggle. I had to correct myself in a hurry and explain stuff. But that's a great example.

I think you really need to slow "Negro League Museum" down to get it to sound unambiguous. And there's my admission that I've been unintentionally dropping hard-Rs to myself to test it out.

I did that twice (on two different days, I mean) in my basement. The dentist said I have an XL tongue (that sounds weird to say) and a small jaw, so I flub a lot of words, but the two were still pretty close. So I recorded it, and it was closer, but not as close as Kuiper (if you really listened and didn't have an axe to grind). Long story short: I'd still get in trouble of some sort.

I still wonder if this native Baltimorean should be in the Light-Skinned Wing of the NLM:

It was obvious he didn't hear what Kuiper said and explains why. Its not helping him with some of the people in the comments though.

I guess you've never heard of Irishman's Disease

I guess they were able to read his heart and determined maximum discipline was required. What a world.

He wasn't some guy that was hired a couple of years ago. A little commonsense wouldn't hurt.
