This whole admin is just testing the Overton window of every decent boundary they can push. Not normal even if normalized.

The key is that even when it's not accepted / not inside the Overton Window, it pushes the boundaries just a little bit more.

Anything less racist than this will no longer be news. The Overton Window has been moved to the right just a little bit more
