I've Heard of Seeing Stars, But Seeing Swastikas?

Racism is everywhere, and so are racial slurs. In fact, sometimes they are so well-hidden you can't even see them, which is a shame because then you can't be outraged and offended, the two most popular online emotions. For example, I, a Jew, had no idea that last Sunday's New York Times crossword puzzle shown at left was laid out in the shape of a swastika! And on the first night of Hanukah, oy vay!

I found that out just a little while ago on a daytime TV news program called "Outnumbered," which airs on the FOX News channel. One of the pretty talking heads -- there are five of them who sit on a couch, four women and one man who is "outnumbered" -- mentioned this in passing during a discussion about the latest Avatar movie (Avatar: The Way of Water) being criticized for being racist. 

Why? Because the leading Avatar people, who are fictional and have blue skin, are played by white actors and not people of color. This is deemed racist because white people have no color so they should have cast black or Hispanic or Native American actors instead.

Now these are some real people of color!

Is anyone else getting sick and tired of all the hurt feelings and ridiculous demands of "people of color" or is it just me? And by the way, what about that swastika puzzle?
