A Yahoo story complaining of racism? On my internet? It's more likely than you think.
The meme I alluded to features a black woman in the original advertisement. Is this digital blackface?
Also, is this a white liberal woman/male feminist problem? My work peer group uses mostly animals or cartoons, my friend group is more of a mixed bag, and my parents send me Facebook memes, but I cannot recall the last time I saw any of the memes mentioned in the article from any of those groups. I am almost compelled to seek out a "cat mom/wine enthusiast" social group to test out my hypothesis.
Yahoo would be out of business without articles on race or lgbt. They are really on a trans kick
How the mighty have fallen. Yahoo used to be an interner superstar, at least in North America. Were they hollowed out or did they shrink to such a state? Either way, keeping your once great site alive through grievance articles to generate hate clicks is pathetic.
