Charge dropped against white woman who called police on Black bird-watcher

The AP said white people in general have much less shared history and culture

Um, what?

I recognise that black people, and people of colour, have been monumentally discriminated against throughout history, but this statement right here smacks of corporate ignorance and trying to put out positive PR to seem “with it” and “woke” in order to remain relevant. I’d expect this from something like The Independent or The Metro, not The AP.

And the really stupid ass thing about this is that it is so damn petty. It’s like the smallest (literally!) thing they could do to fight against social inequality. How about reporting the truth? Run more stories focused on the discrimination of ethnic and minority people in North America and the rest of the world?

Nah. That would be too much work and upset the racists who might, might, read The AP.
