>the mere utterance of the epithet, even in a sentence like "You should never call someone a <racial epithet> because that is extremely offensive" is considered itself racist by younger people.
I'm not sure it's really younger people, it's more a journalist / leftist thing. Consider pewdiepie is a Gen X and he's supposed to have been cancelled 10x over by now for being racist / anti semitic / etc. And what gen X'ers are reading the NYT anyways?
