Wow even nature.com has an article about how bad twitter has become, did not see that one coming.
Kind of reminds me of the early 2000s where some recruiter or HR rep would be adamant that you have 5+ years of C# experience even though it had only been out for 3 years (released in 2001). No use trying to explain that to them though.
There was an NFL commentator named Jimmy the Greek who said something like “they are bred to be a better athlete” on air. He was fired shortly thereafter. Can’t remember when it happened though, maybe the mid 1980’s. Not sure if he himself was racist or if he was just saying what popped into his head.
