This article is ridiculous enough to merit mockery in its own right — wrong, actually — but I was taken with a nugget tucked into the last paragraph:

Environmental Activist Says Cheese is Racist, Dairy Shouldn’t Be Served in Schools
summit.news | 14 April, 2021 | Paul Joseph Watson

An environmental activist is petitioning her local council to remove cheese and other dairy products from the school menu because she claims the food items are “racist.”

Yes, really.

Extinction Rebellion member Alison Plaumer told local officials at a Brighton and Hove City Council meeting that dairy is racist because black people are more likely to be lactose intolerant.

“Arguably, there is a racist element to serving dairy too much because 65 per cent of the world’s population are lactose intolerant, many from the BAME (black, Asian and minority ethnic) community,” said Plaumer.

Yes, just when you were getting used to seeing the arbitrary silliness of “BIPOC” everywhere — which seems to have forgotten to add Q, B, L, and others at the end — Bam! Along comes the BAME of our existence.

And there’s another one out there in the wild, trying to become domesticated:

AAVE (African American Vernacular English).

Never heard it before, but suddenly it’s popping up in news story after news story. AAVE Maria!

Can just anyone make these up? I appeal to the MLPS community. I’ll make up words to go with that later.
