Yahoo's Use of Racist Hashtag Nicknames[edit]

For the past few month's Yahoo has been carelessly running article headlines based on Twitter stories connected to racism. This issue comes from the use of hashtags like "#PermitPatty" or "#BarbecueBetty" Rather than the stories themselves, it is the reuse of these racist hashtags that are the issue. Names like Patty, Betty and the many others are names that connect to a white person. There is no reason for Yahoo to use these titles other than for its own agenda which seems to be racist. Were Yahoo to run hashtags like #KmartKeisha or #IPhoneImani or #AngryAaliyah there would be great opposition and calls of racism. It is also the case with the current names being used by Yahoo. I write this just to note the issue which is receiving more and more critical feedback on the continuous articles that seem to be trending using these hashtags.

Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian[edit]

I removed a bit of text about Ariana Grande and Kim Kardashian because it was based on an unreliable source, but I am not against reincluding something similar based on a better source like The Guardian: https://www.theguardian.com/fashion/2020/apr/14/blackfishing-black-is-cool-unless-youre-actually-black

Coining the term[edit]

I just removed a claim that an author coined the term "cyber racism" in 2002, as 1) it was sourced to an article by the supposed coiner, and 2) I can find a fair number of previous newspaper examples of the term (generally hyphenated), as far back as 1996 in Canada, 1997 in Australia, 2000 in US. -- Nat Gertler (talk) 16:10, 8 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
