Is the name "New York Times" racist?

[saxitoxin]

The New York Times geolocates the place of business of the company to New York.

Contrary to popular belief, New York was not named after York, England. It was renamed from New Amsterdam to New York in honor of the fifth Duke of York, with "New" added simply to differentiate it from the larger York, England. When York ascended to the throne as James II he ordered the capture of Dutch forts in Africa to help facilitate the English slave trade.

Should the New York Times rename itself to simply "The New Times?"

No.

It’s not.

New survey: is jimboston racist for not believing the New York Times is racist?

To protect vulnerable BIPOC and LGBTQILMNOP communities from microagression by jimboston, the survey was held in private. The results are in. The community agrees jimboston is racist. He will continue to be racist until he exhibits an act of contrition. Possible acts:

- donate $50K to Ilhan Omar's campaign fund
- something else involving a cash payment

Upon receipt of monies, he will be issued a certificate that says "Verified Non Racist."
