    How are nicknames hypocrisy?

    You know Biden’s first name isn’t really Joe, right? And Clinton’s first name was William. And Dwight Eisenhower went by “Ike.” And Bernie’s name is Bernard. And a dude named Edwin walked on the moon while going by “Buzz.”

    It’s fine to have a nickname.

      It’s not having a nickname that is the problem. The problem is using a nickname to sidestep racism that she is perpetuating by affiliating with a racist group.
