At More About Advertising, Editor Stephen Foster asked, “Does latest Ted Royer kerfuffle show an industry comprised of vengeful snowflakes?” Foster is at least being consistent in his sympathy for Royer, yet the journalist’s perspective is a tad crude. After all, attacking the offended and branding them as being too sensitive is the classic response of the insensitive; i.e., Foster comes off as culturally clueless. Oh, and the industry is definitely comprised of snowflakes—vengeful and forgiving—by virtue of being exclusively White.
