What Racial Terms Make You Cringe?

This is a version of the weekly Race/Related newsletter. To get it in your inbox, sign up here.

Diversity hire. Ethnic. Person of color. Exotic. Urban.

This week the Race/Related team is taking aim at a few of the words and phrases that we find bothersome when it comes to race. Some of the terms we chose also have entries in The Times’s Manual of Style and Usage. We’ve included the manual’s recommendations when appropriate.
