I keep asking for a list of things that aren’t racist because that would be a lot easier at this point. But I have yet to receive one. So as of now, we must add yet another thing to the list of inanimate objects that are bigoted. And that thing is crossword puzzles. I know you probably assumed it would be sudoku given that math is also racist. But nope, we are adding crosswords to that list.

According to the National Review:

“This morning, an article was published on the New Yorker’s website with the title and subtitle: ‘Can Crosswords Be More Inclusive? The puzzles spread from the United States across the globe, but the American crossword today doesn’t always reflect the linguistic changes that immigration brings.’ In short, even crosswords are complicit in Western sins.

The author of the article, Natan Last, weaves together the story of Mangesh Ghogre, a 43-year-old crossword constructor from Mumbai, with the history of crossword puzzles and their lexicon, all the while sketching a patina on the U.S. immigration system. Ghogre, whose success in crafting crosswords enabled him to immigrate to the U.S. from Mumbai, serves as the article’s protagonist.

If the author took a different tone, the facts of the article could have been fashioned into an American dream come true — a young man from Mumbai, with a deep knowledge and love of crossword puzzles, levers his unique talent to acquire an EB-1A permanent-residency visa (the rare kind granted only to high-achieving individuals) so that he can move to the U.S. and pursue his dream of owning a puzzle company.

Ghogre, known for carrying around English dictionaries and crossword puzzles as a boy in India, tirelessly submitted his work to outlets such as the Los Angeles Times and the New York Times at the beginning of his crossword-making career. An admission by the former propelled him forward in American crossword communities, and ultimately, through the American immigration system.

And yet, Last cannot help but turn the piece into an ‘America is ignorant’ elegy. He criticizes crossword creators in the U.S. for inflecting clues or answers ‘with negative, sometimes racist, connotations,’ and relying too often on “the othering manacles of italicized, ‘foreign’ words.”

If you thought that none of that made sense, you are not alone. It definitely lacks any “sense.”

This is what we call a “First World Problem.” Sometimes, in the absence of any real issues or problems, people undergo a physiological response where they fabricate new conflicts so they can feel important. Inanimate objects cannot be racist, including crossword puzzles. But Progressives don’t tend to live in reality, and this was a really big attempt on their part to focus on something concrete. But they are so incredibly stupid and narcissistic that this was just another failure for the left to stir up the pot that did not need stirring.

So how exactly are we going to make these puzzles more "inclusive?" It is unclear. It is true that if you speak proper English it is a lot easier to do an American crossword puzzle. I don't understand how that is supposed to be a bad thing. Are Chinese crossword puzzles now racist towards the Japanese? It is quite clear that it is not so much the puzzle that the left hates, it's everything about Western culture, including our language. By going after a cute little lady's puzzle, they are going after Western Culture.

That said, if we give minorities crossword puzzles that already have half the answers filled in, would that make it more "equitable?"
