hidden blog repost using discriminatory language 'Patsy' - Wikipedia: "In
American slang, a patsy is a person taken advantage of, especially one
considered relatively naïve. The term is widely regarded as an ethnic
slur, in light of the likely theory that it arose in the mid-19th century
when East Coast urban centers in the U.S. included a notable abundance of
recent migrants from rural Ireland, among whom the nickname "Patsy" (for
Patrick, the patron saint of Ireland) was relatively common."
