Language guidance in a new anti-racism report says vested interests benefitting from the status quo should not be referred to as “the wealthy elite” because this can “trigger antisemitism and feed the conspiracy theories of far-right white nationalists.”
The Guide to Talking About Racism by Reframing Race, recommends referring to the “powerful few” as an alternative to “the wealthy elite,” while also taking issue with “white working class” – a term often associated with the Brexit and Donald Trump victories in 2016.
“Talk about the ‘multi-ethnic working class’,” the report’s authors insist, instead.
The report is yet another “woke” drivel-fest funded by left-wing non-governmental organizations (NGOs) including the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, the Lankelly Chase Foundation, and the Barrow Cadbury Trust.
The authors also take aim at words and phrases associating light with goodness and darkness with evil:
“Associating whiteness with purity, cleanliness and goodness and blackness with evil and destruction serve to reinforce
harmful tropes and the constructed racial hierarchy in which Black and Minoritised people are pushed to the bottom.”
“Denigrate” is also recommended for the chopping block, presumably because it comes from the Latin denigratus, meaning “to blacken”. At least one of Reframing Race’s major donors, the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, receives millions from the British government.
