    Who benefits from her elaborating? I think the one word quote does an adequate job of naming the problem clearly and making it recognizable.

      One word answers in a headline are almost always done with express intent of ragebaiting people on social media because it helps algorithms promote posts if people respond to them. Its not about clarity, its about ambiguity

        You’re right about the intent, but it still doesn’t diminish what I said. Racism also goes a long way towards explaining the methods that Western media excuses to rationalize violence against the rest of the world (see: all the reporting about Israeli airstrikes in Iran or the anti-immigration protests in N. Ireland)

        The sooner we call a spade a spade instead of arguing over specifics, the less people will die.
