Letter: ​Consider rewording the Jan. 23 editorial

TO THE EDITOR :

About the Jan. 23 editorial, “Marching Mindfully”:

How do “...swarms of white women proudly advertised their involvement in this march, the first political act of protest for many of them. What a great day!” and “...self-righteous grannies...” sound if “white women” and “grannies” are replaced by any of the following: “women of color,” “Latinas,” “Native American women /indigenous American women” ... and “teenyboppers”?
