In this edition of everything is racist, CNN thinks that fonts are racist. As in typeface. "Karate, Wonton, Chow Fun: The end of 'chop suey' fonts," by Anne Quito was published on April 8. An editor's note at the top insists you know that "This feature is part of CNN Style's new series Hyphenated, which explores the complex issue of identity among minorities in the United States."
The piece in question is 1,777 words.
The piece opens up with:
