In which [livejournal.com profile] daily_deviant doesn't realise that the term 'miscegenation' has problematic connotations, and then refuses to change their definition of 'miscegenation' as "intercourse between different species" as well as "intercourse between people of different races".

You might have already seen this around and about LJ. If not, then [livejournal.com profile] liviapenn's collection post is a good place to start reading.

I particularly like [livejournal.com profile] ciderpress' point in her meta: It's an affirmation that they have the luxury to not think about how offensive something they say or do is, that they have no regard for who they hurt, that they're allowed a pass, they're allowed to not apologize because they meant well. Somehow it's okay to be hurtful because it's not deliberate.

I really have none. I'm torn between laughing, being pissed off beyond belief, and bursting into tears.
