Which of these are acceptable/unacceptable to you?

- posting about saying it "with a hard R"

- posting TikToks of yourself yelling "dirty clanker" at delivery robots on the street

- posting TikToks of yourself saying it in a sketch where you're a waitress in the South in the 1950s

- replying to people with prosthetic robot arms calling them "half clankas"
