Australian store owner under fire for banning black teens because they 'always steal'

[Perknose]

I am not sure if this allowed but I must ask, is the use of the word "thug" banned altogether on ATOT? I often use it but never use it race specifically.

[...]

I 'm just looking for some clarification here, do we need to include the race of people we are talking about when using words like "thug, criminal, asshole, badguy, etc..." from now on?

Here's yours, and everyone else's "clarification" hint: What was the explicitly defined race of the kids in this story? See how simple that is to understand when "thug" is used as a racist, dog whistle term?
