Haha they also have some very interesting expressions that seem fairly exclusive to their little corner of the world

One time zone to rule them all
One time zone to find them
One time zone to bring them all
And in the darkness bind them

The weirdest thing about this post is the inability of people to separate this hat (which is a play on trump's slogan, sure) from Trump himself.
.
And then they get offended while pretending to not be offended and that everyone else is the problem. And the irony just compounds as time goes on.

Bronze! That's one I've heard!
.
Also "dark as night" for black people at times.
.
I've heard eyes described in so many ways I've lost count - some more appealing than others, obviously
.
I'm not really sure what OP is trying to get at here. Like are people just... not supposed to describe characteristics of characters?
.
The way they seem to want these books written is kind of bizarre.
.
.
.
"They had skin that was somewhat darker than that mayonnaise person over there, but we don't need to go into detail about that because we don't see color."
.
"Their eyes were blue. That's all you need to know, and We'll say no more about it."

Is that a social stigma snake in your pocket or are you just here to cancel me from the internet?

This genuinely sounds like a problem with what must be an extremely narrow reading list comprised mostly of the functionally illiterate if this has been your experience with their description of people of color.
.
You should probably visit a library or literally anywhere else more often in the future and not surround yourself with this sort of weirdness just to have something to complain about. There's no way it can be good for your health

Not sure which generic White people we're talking about this time, but they are generally describe as porcelain or pale or white as snow/milk/etc or olive-skinned
.
Most common way I've heard black people described is "dark" or "ebony," occasionally "chocolate"
.
Natives I've heard copper but idr much else. Maybe @famousone or @Bethorien would have more about that
.
Asians I can't remember hearing their skintone described much, but we all know they're classified as white anyway so
.
Latin/hispanic etc I've heard brown/tan, sometimes cinnamon or coffee or things along that vein
.
.
I have no idea who in fuck you're reading that describes POC as having an equivalent to tide pod eyes specifically. Every author I've encountered tends to describe eyes more or less the same, and it rarely seems to have anything to do with skintone

Except they already admitted that the vaccine does not prevent the vaccinated from getting the virus. Nor does it prevent transmission.

Several places are seeing extreme spikes in covid cases in places where there are high levels of vaccinations.
.
Not saying vaccinations are causing covid (though the case levels are higher than even at the peak of the pandemic previously for some reason). But sure as fuck strange how it's not remotely limiting the spread.

Well since then people in the media have equated the phrase to being vulgar, and the equivalent of being an Isis sympathizer - among many, many, many other things
.
So whether that one reporter was actively lying or not is somewhat irrelevant (which you didn't actually disprove, just theorized about), The phrase is still comedic, and the media is still turning it into a fantastic example of their ineptitude and allergy to the truth.
.
Not the mention the extremes they're willing to go to to control the narrative and divide the people.

Well again, by that standard we should all technically be considered some degree of dead since we rely on the planet to keep us alive. We can only survive extremely short periods off the planet (or not at all without it's resources and special protection).
.
I realize they probably mean more intimate connection (umbilical cord) but this would also mean that up until the cord is cut, babies are not alive. Which doesn't seem to add up either, since they can sleep and react and feel after certain parts of their development.
I'd think it would also mean every premature baby, as well as anyone on any kind of life support, could be considered dead as well
.
Fetuses would seem more akin to parasites than viruses (or maybe I'm confused - highly sleep deprived ATM)
.
^this isn't an argument for or against abortion btw, just general response to the concept that anything relying on a host to support them is not alive

He's an Xfinity driver who won.
.
While he was being interviewed the crowd began to chant "fuck Joe Biden."
.
The reporter interviewing Brandon tried to claim that the crowd was saying "Let's go Brandon!"
.
It snowballed from there to where let's go Brandon is now a euphemism (<- I may not have the right word) for Fuck Joe Biden
.
Some media outlets are trying to claim that also makes it on par with Nazism for some reason
.
.
Edited because "while he was being interviewed the crowd because to chant" irritated me
