      Yeah I wonder why…

      Surely nothing to do with 400 years of slavery followed by Jim Crow and permanent systemic racism.

      I’m not American. I honestly just wondered because the first time I saw this used it was the NY Times saying they were doing it from now on.

      I agree, but I also don’t think it’s bad to ask about it. Nothing wrong with learning and getting clarification.
