Sounds super real and like it definitely happened
Whenever I see a story that seems far fetched, I try to think about it more broadly.
Was it a NYT reporter who hadn't heard of Jim Crow laws? Maybe, could've been a nobody intern who grew up in the South. Besides that, I fully believe this conversation has occurred with an ignorant person, if not a NYT reporter.
But there is a very specific agenda here. So say to people who already think that the NYT is bad, that the NYT employs people without even the slightest understanding of history. I highly doubt this happened.
Don’t downvote people for being skeptical on the internet folks, we want to encourage it.
Am I doing that? Seems to me like that's getting done to me.
Yeah I was reacting to you getting downvotes.
Correct, it's good to be skeptical
