I mean, acting like the nursery rhyme is inherently racist because of its history is a little silly, but if some people can’t help but see its unfortunate past and that makes them uncomfortable, I won’t begrudge them that.
I don’t begrudge people for that, but I do begrudge people expecting everyone else to fall in line with their choices. Eeny Meeny Miney Mo isn’t a common part of my lexicon believe it or not, but if I feel the need to say it, I’m going to say it. If someone is offended, then they’re just going to have to live with the fact that they don’t control me and what I say.
Nice.
Prime example of what I mean about having empathy vs. not having empathy.
