‘Bulo actually shares John Aravosis’ sense that DELDOT was trying to do the right thing, but it all just went horriblyhorribly wrong.
Perhaps some PR muckitymuck should have suggested that stringing together offensive stereotypes and then saying ‘don’t do this’ might lead to some embarrassing moments.
And perhaps Aravosis, who runs one of America’s best blogs, would be more understanding if he knew some of the people for whom the warnings were designed as well as some people in DELDOT do.
Still, his question deserves considered answers:
Having said all of that, I feel a bit bad for these folks. They were trying to do good. And I could honestly see someone being stupid enough to say a lot of these things for real. So the warnings are valid. But still. What do you think – does it go too far, even though it’s simply warning people what NOT to do?
So answer it.
