Words For The Lazy People
I am at this moment reading a news story about a situation in Africa where the writer has described a person in the story as "nut brown". This is the sixth time in three days I have read a news story set in Africa where someone is described as nut brown. We need not get into how many genre stories I have read over my lifetime where the primary descriptor given to a not-white character was "nut brown". Elsewhere, I am reading one such story, now. No, wait. TWO.
Look at an acorn. Look at a walnut. Look at a pecan. Look at a chestnut. Look at a Macademia. Look at a coconut.
Fuck you, lazy people.
