Yeah I know, but some words carry connotations seperate from their original use.
Sunsetting might not be a controversial word in most contexts, but in the specific context of racial discrimination, it's one to avoid unless you're openly on the side of racial discrimination and want everyone to know that.
Edit: btw, as is mentioned at the very beginning of the Wikipedia article about them I linked to, another commonly used term for "sundown towns" was "sunset towns". Because, you know, sundown and sunset are synonyms..
I really don't think your malice against a group clearly fighting against malicious proposals is warranted. I certainly don't think they would be in favor of DEI and segregation. Especially when there are plenty of black doctors in that organization.
The group that submitted the malicious proposal called it sunsetting.
I was confused. Sorry.
Yeah, it wasn't worded well in the article. "The group" -- well, which one?
You've got it backwards. The use of the word is in the title of the malicious proposal. They want to "sunset" AKA end all DEI.
Oh, my apologies.
No worries. Happens to the best of us sometimes, and also myself 😁
