A politically correct way to describe someone who expresses racist beliefs, behaviors, or stereotypes while insisting they’re just being “honest,” “traditional,” or “not sensitive.” Often used to call out prejudice without using explicit slurs.
“ My uncle isn’t racist—he’s just severely ethnically intolerant.”
“She called it a joke, but everyone in the room heard the ethnically intolerant energy loud and clear.“
“HR didn’t fire him for being racist, they fired him for being ethnically intolerant.”
