      Where’s the leverage if it’s a performance?

        I can (and have, many times) dropped a hard-r for comedic effect, even around my black friends, as they have the context to know that I’m not actually the kind of person to use that word normally

        If I was recorded and shared to the internet doing so free of context, I would be labelled as a racist shithead immediately and forever

          Is that the situation here? It is not.

          Everyone wanting to give the benefit of the doubt here gives racists room to exist.

            That’s how I read it, yes. But we obviously don’t have enough context to say whether the GF is actually racist or just pretending to be as a crazy trust exercise. I’m taking it as a crazy trust exercise because that’s the only way this could fit any definition of “romantic.”

              At least we’ve established that you enable racists.
