>Nest time you see a black man over 20 and under 50 years of age, try calling him "boy". See how he reacts. But before you do, write that last will and testament
Still can't see it? Yes you can.
>Next time you see a black man... try calling him "boy"... But before you [see how he reacts] write that last will and testament
Either your English is pretty limited (in which case, avoid getting into semantic arguments like 'woman' vs 'girl'), or you're being disingenuous. There is no universe in which that does not mean "because he will murder you." You say that he will need a last will and testament after the black man reacts. What the fuck else could that possibly mean.
The reason you're being picked on and downvoted in this comment thread, by the way, is because this kind of bullshit is a harmful distraction. There are plenty of serious issues to talk about in this thread. Horvath has revealed some toxic shit going on in a very popular, well-loved SV startup.
Using 'girl' instead of 'woman' for 'young female adult' is NOT one of these serious issues. As a young male in tech I know a lot of young females in tech; of the minority who actually give a shit about this petty nonsense, they all prefer 'girl' and feel uncomfortable with 'woman.'
EDIT: also, equating "fasten your seatbelt before driving" and "write a will before insulting a black man" as "common sense advice" is SUPER FUCKING RACIST
Is the above the "real truth"? No, of course not -- it's just as reliable an indicator of what people think as your view. The problem is that you have no conception that there's any view on this issue apart from your own.
> The reason you're being picked on and downvoted in this comment thread ...
Oh, I know the reason very well. It's well-established that downvoting inevitably follows the posting of a simple truth. The simpler the truth, the greater the number of downvotes.
You locate where I said or implied this, and I will defend it.
"Fasten your seat belt."
"Are you implying that I'm an unsafe driver, or that I'm likely to get into a traffic accident?"
"Umm, no, I'm just offering some common-sense advice."
