Actual Example:
Initial Comment: Imagine if all of this effort and passion resisting Equity policies was actually put toward creating a system that supported our BIPOC community.
SF Response: I don’t have to answer questions. Especially not to people who respond with racism. I’m just a racist apparently. Love tonight’s equity meeting. It showed just how racist this whole thing truly is.
Usage in a sentence: "Wow, did you catch her response? We were talking about racial equity and she just started snowflaking that everyone was calling her a racist because she was against it. Where the fuck did that come from?!
