Mixed Race Citizen X (MRCX) was mildly upset when he retrieved his Morning Missive and saw that the Daily Word Codes were missing. "Oh well," he thought to himself, "I guess they can't be too different from yesterday," and went about his business. Still, it bothered him, and he wondered if that bratty little White Child next door had taken them, just to mess with his mind.
The Daily Word Codes were pretty important for everyone over the age of six, something known to everyone by the time they were three or four years old. Determined not to go outside or answer the phone before he checked for an update, MRCX slipped on his Google glasses and found today's codes in his online mailbox. Good thing, too, because apparently a few things had happened overnight that were of note: It was no longer deemed acceptable for non-minorities to use the words "gay," "peace," "brother" or "sister."
It was getting harder and harder to keep up, MRCX thought to himself, sipping his chai-ginger-turmeric-nonfat, gluten-free, tofu-latte smoothie and thanking his lucky stars that he was a member in good standing of The Thought Police. If not for that, he might be Banned For Life.
