Eggplant is a racial slur mainly used by Italians.
The troglodytes at Fox Nation use it not because they’re Italian, but to get around the word filters. They seem to get a real thrill out of sneaking racist comments past the moderators.
So… seeking cooperation with the larger global community is a betrayal of Amuricun Eksepshonalism when it involves justice, medicine, science, defense, economics, etc, but it’s okay if you’re trying to finding new ways to be a racist hater.
