Add Carl Benjamin[edit]

UK politicians received controversy for calling someone a white nigger. Carl Benjamin. 2600:1700:B880:8700:6CD6:66BE:DE47:3E6F (talk) 07:28, 14 January 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It's amazing this article hasn't been deleted yet[edit]

I guess no one's been policing this page. It's a strange (and ambiguous) subject on its face, but exactly what is so difficult about finding reliable, scholarly sources and summarizing all relevant viewpoints in proper English? The sentence "Irish were also nicknamed Negroes turned inside-out" -who is "Irish" and nicknamed by whom? This gibberish is sourced to an article in The Irish Times that doesn't seem to exist anymore, and the one sentence in the "Italian immigrants" section is similarly referenced to an opinion piece in The New York Times by an editor who has no background in social history.

If this term doesn't appear with any frequency in reliable sources, and can't even be coherently defined in the lead ("refers to a white person" & the n-word "refers to a black person" -what??), then the article warrants a deletion since the subject clearly doesn't pass the notability test.
