don't understand how this sentence (changed by the patch):
When writing English, follow Strunk and White.
Does "uphold relics of white supremacy" (as per the commit message).
Thanks in advance for your simple explanation (I'm not a native
english speaker).
The purported issue is that Strunk and White itself is doing the upholding.
For example, on a slightly different topic, earlier versions of S&W were
sexist: the examples of men used positive words, while the examples of
women used negative and subservient words.
I have not read S&W myself, and my requests for WS examples have gone
unanswered, so I do not know about the WS aspect.
