Reminds me of

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Controversies_about_the_word_removedrdly

Edit: Lol I was trying to link to a Wikipedia article about a word that's often misinterpreted as racist and the link got censored. November India Gamma Golf Alpha Romeo Delta Lima Yankee is the word for those who want to read the article

    .ee shouldn't censor it (for others)

    You can also encode characters (a=%61) in a url that should bypass this and work:

    Howard refused but accepted another position with the mayor instead, insisting that he did not feel victimized by the incident. On the contrary, Howard felt that he had learned from the situation. "I used to think it would be great if we could all be colorblind; that's naïve, especially for a white person, because a white person [can] afford to be colorblind. They don't have to think about race every day. An African American does."

    Wow; I was surprised to get to the first controversy and discover such a thoughtful and empathetic take on the topic.
