Greensboro Zoning Commissioner Fired For Refusing To Use Black Woman's Title (Dr.) During Zoom Zoning Meeting

 This guy is just an asshole, and there's no getting around it. Rosario makes a perfectly reasonable and ordinary request. Collins goes way, way out of his way to be a jackass about it. I'm glad they kicked his ass off. This really does seem like he's got a problem with her because she's black or a woman or both. Though there was that weird thing on the right--briefly, I thought--about how no one but medical doctors should be called "doctor." That was all because Jill Biden apparently insists on being called "doctor" too often... It was so dumb I thought it'd just go away. Both insisting on being called "doctor" all the time and refusing to call Ph.D.s "doctor" when appropriate are bush-league, jackass behaviors. In this case, there's absolutely nothing objectionable about Rosario's request. In a meeting of this kind, you'd normally call people "mister," "miss," etc. So if somebody's a Ph.D. or medical doctor, you'd call them "doctor." These conventions really aren't strange or hard to master. Anyway: dud's an asshole.
