Grand Theft: "Auto Enthusiast"

It happens all the time and has for some time. Remember "gay?" Remember when it was appropriated to refer to a homosexual male? Now that's not that big of a deal, because you cannot even sing that song at the derby these days. Then there was hack, in all its various forms: hack; hacking; hacked; hacker. First it was the bench jockey building cool bits of electronica. Then the software dweeb writing a BASIC interpreter in 6502 assembly. Enter the dark side and it is about folks compromising computer and phone systems. Upon gaining significant value it was appropriated by flailing politicians who had their metaphorical hats handed to them by outsiders who demonstrated how political propaganda really works. 

But now they've gone too far. Now it is cultural appropriation, even if that culture is currently out of favor. This is far too important to let slide. The thievery manifest in the misappropriation of "Auto Enthusiast" cannot go unchallenged. The lies being spread to cover for premeditated illegal activity must be exposed. 

What illegal activity you ask? Observers call it "street racing," yet another misappropriation, while some of the promoters are more open about their outlaw infatuations. The worst offenders are the apologists and their most egregious offense is their "hacking our world" by calling these street criminals "auto enthusiasts." That some of these SJW's are lawyers is something for the Bar to take up. 

Let's look at the offense itself. These SJW's are claiming that enforcing laws prohibiting burnouts, donuts and takeovers on and of public streets is racist, declaring, without any evidence whatsoever that:

"We know the majority of those who are in the car enthusiast community are Black and Brown."

Really? Let's check that out and since pictures are worth a thousand words...let's check out some recent "car enthusiast" pics on the interweb.

Well what do you know? You know what you see, and what you don't see and those add up to exposing the lie that a majority of car enthusiasts are Black and Brown. However, these folk fit that description:

Illegal Street "Takeover"

Now if you want to twist the language, and the facts to declare that street hoodlums are something they are not--law abiding--then you are a co-conspirator and deserve a place right beside those who should be arrested.
