No jokes, please--we're Woke.

The City of Dearborn's Downtown Development Authority placed some lighthearted signs encouraging social distancing. Here are two of them.

[Podcaster Rima] Fadlallah says that this is more than just using a shawarma to represent Arab Americans, but it's about the microaggressions that she feels are constantly targeted to the community. [Fellow podcaster Yasmeen] Kadouh said that Arabs in the country deal with misrepresentation and identity erasure every day, and now it's at home.

"The place that we call home and the place that houses our traditions and our community should not be the place that offends us in a way where we feel like our identities are being made fun of," Kadouh said.

One can legitimately wonder just how many people were offended, apart from the two complainers. But youth must be served, no matter how confused.

Confused? Yes. Because in the name of fighting "erasure," a reference to Arabic culture that has entered the mainstream was erased.

Always remember:
