@paris2024 love ya, but trend or not, this is not a cute look 😒 EDIT: - Fact: Many countries treat this word more nonchalantly than the US. - Fact: Many countries don’t edit English songs (I don’t have a problem with this). - Opinion: Black people can use this word however they want. - Opinion: Professional/business accounts should not use uncensored versions of songs with that word. - Fact: This is a major cultural difference between the US & France— US brand accounts would never use uncensored audio like this. In France, people don’t bat an eye. - Opinion: An account representing the *global* Olympic Games and therefore targeting a *global* audience should be generally culturally sensitive *to everyone*. Whether they need to hire a consultant for this or not is their call. (Offering my services was a joke that didn’t land — I’m not a consultant.) Fact: The word is objectively and inherently rooted in racism and is still offensive and discriminatory to any people. - The word means something different to you personally ➡️ it’s still racist. - You don’t mean it in a racist way ➡️ it’s still racist. - It’s just a word ➡️ it’s still racist. - It shouldn’t offend me as a yt person ➡️ it’s still racist. - I’m being woke/sensitive ➡️ it’s still racist. #paris2024 #culturaldifferences #meaningofwords #etymology #etymologie #wordshavepower #powerofwords
