The BBC ran a story about a Muslim family who upped sticks from the city and bought a farm in rural Wales, and how they’re encouraging more diverse people from cities to enjoy the outdoors. You can read it here.

The headline now reads Muslim farmer wants more diverse rural visitors. But it didn’t when they posted it as evidenced by the Tweet linked in this post, as they can’t change that.

For anyone who can’t follow the Twitter link (Nitter couldn’t find it even with a link, sorry) the original headline was this:

Muslim farmer wants more ethnicity in rural Wales

A headline that very deliberately baited a massive number of racists who predictably used it to tout great replacement theory.

    grillman: “You urbanites are so out of touch with us normals outside the cities.”

    gigachad: “Ok, you’re right. I’ll come visit and learn from you.”

    grill-broke: “DIE YOU WORTHLESS [SLUR]! [Death threat] [slur] [slur] [death threat]!”

    The salt of the earth, everyone.
