While we are very cautious in following X-Twitter rules, sometimes academic prose will trigger the AI’s or users. And this is worse when our members post from different cultures with different sensitivities and taboos.
Thankfully Twitter (X) is doing a better job at distinguishing between academic prose and hate speech. Making it safe for adult conversation about matters of substance using academic prose that may infer other than it’s contextual meaning to the common folk.
We run into this all the time by the way.
I tend to use “East Asian, European, South Eruasian, African, and Hybrids” whenever I make statements about racial groups. These names are purely geographic and have no ‘baggage’.
The problem occurs when we have to reference older terminology, especially terminology that’s wrong (such as Caucasian), in the context in which it was developed (as the post I’m commenting on demonstrates).
