Here are the racist code words Trump’s Twitter fans are now using to avoid getting banned

Twitter has been trying to clean up its reputation for being a hive of vicious, racist trolls — and now the trolls are fighting back by coming up with new ways to avoid getting banned.

Per the Telegraph, Twitter user Alex Goldman has discovered that racist alt-right Trump fans have created special code words for minorities so they don’t run afoul of Twitter’s anti-harassment policies.

Racist Trump twitter has come up with a new coded way to share racial slurs w/ each other and avoid account suspension.

As you can see, the alt-righters now refer to black people as “googles,” Jews as “skypes,” Latinos as “yahoos,” and Asians as “bings.” In tribute to Donald Trump Jr., they also refer to Muslims as “skittles,” which is the candy that the younger Trump compared to Syrian refugees in an infamous meme he posted. And of course, they also have derogatory nicknames for members of the LGBT community and for any political ideology that does not match up with their own.

Why not just use the words, chickenshits?

If you're so proud of your bigotry, just use the words. Or, are you afraid of a little blowback?

They are cowards. Afraid of other people, and themselves.

Anyone with a Latino friend or Latino origin knows exactly what you're saying when you call somebody a "butterfly". Fuckin' punk-assed morons.

Oh, that's right, the derogatory words for women for the most part are still acceptable.
