Twitter/X Comment About Baltimore Mayor Shows How Racists Now Use 'DEI' Instead Of The N-Word - eviltoast
Instead of focusing on the bridge tragedy, racists couldn't wait to denigrate Mayor Brandon M. Scott.

“This is Baltimore’s DEI mayor commenting on the collapsed Francis Scott Key Bridge,” the user wrote alongside a clip of Scott speaking. “It’s going to get so, so much worse. Prepare accordingly.”

The post was immediately fact checked and even came with an advisory.

“Brandon Scott was elected as Mayor of Baltimore in 2020 with > 70% of the vote,” the advisory reads. “He did not come in to office through any DEI practices, appointments, etc.” This isn’t the first instance of a racist swapping out the N-word with “DEI”—but it certainly is one of the most brazen.

    Kinda like the word thug. Most people who use that word as hyperbole, use it as a replacement for the N word
