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 dont run afoul of Twitters anti-harassment policies.

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.

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.
