"Coal burning" is a term up there with "mud sharking" that is used exclusively by racists/white nationalists on places like Stormfront and 4chan's /pol/. "Yellow fever," for better or worse, has a much wider penetration into the general society and isn't used exclusively by hard core racists, therefore isn't comparable.
Hmm... I wonder why that is?
This is just speculation - feel free to disagree with me - but it fits the pattern of modern doublethink: "Big Brother is Ungood." Anything white and/or male can be criticized, but anything going in the opposite direction is verboten. In this case, Blacks and women are near the top of the privilege hierarchy, so "coal burning" is crime think because it criticizes both groups. Yellow fever, on the other hand, ridicules White men and Asian women, who are acceptable targets for ridicule.
So, are you telling the black members of the forum to check their privilege?
