What will they come up with next? Now, fonts are racist. Yup. From CNN. "Here's a thought experiment: Close your eyes and imagine the font you'd use to depict the word "Chinese.'"
There's a good chance you pictured letters made from the swingy, wedge-shaped strokes you've seen on restaurant signs, menus, take-away boxes and kung-fu movie posters. These "chop suey fonts," as American historian Paul Shaw calls them, have been a typographical shortcut for "Asianness" for decades. Who comes up with this? Sweet baby jeebus.

Nowadays a more relevant question would be: "What ISN'T racist ?" I am now convinced that some people can spin, twist and infer racism into just about anything. That way the race card can be played for almost anything and anyone who doesn't fall in lockstep with it will instantly be branded as a racist. See how that works?

Ok I tried that exercise and what I landed on was "Arial" which is what I use for just about everything...so I guess the author is full of s hit.
These are my opinions, feel free to disagree.

Cut the cable... stop paying the salary of those that actively work to destroy and enslave you.
If you are not actively engaging EVERY enemy you encounter... you are allowing another to fight for you... and that is cowardice... plain and simple.
