Thomas Sowell once said, “The word ‘racism’ is like ketchup. It can be put on practically anything — and demanding evidence makes you a ‘racist.’” Need proof?
Satirical Twitter account ‘Titania McGrath’ has compiled an epic thread of almost 150 examples of ordinary things being branded “racist” by the militant woke brigade.
The list is the work of Spiked columnist Andrew Doyle, who created the parody account to mock “woke culture” back in 2018.
“Brave social justice activists such as myself are working tirelessly to expose *all* the racist elements within our society,” the parody account tweeted in the thread, initially created in July 2020.
“Sometimes it is difficult to keep up, so I thought it would be helpful to curate a comprehensive list.”
