Zuby Corrects Richard Hanania

Richard Hanania Elon Musk takes over Twitter. He's a billionaire who doesn't even have a Master's degree. Is that who we are going to trust with the future of our democracy? ZUBY: Yes Richard Hanania How does that make you feel as a black man? There are young black men with degrees living in poverty as we speak. ZUBY: I am actually a black woman. Please don't assume my gender. Richard Hanania I am sorry. Even with a PhD and JD, I still don’t always get it right. I appreciate you correcting me and your words will guide me going forward.

A screenshot of a Twitter exchange shows Richard Hanania criticizing Elon Musk and asking Zuby how the situation feels as a Black man. Zuby sarcastically claims to be a Black woman, prompting Hanania to apologize for misgendering them and promise to learn from the correction. The joke mocks performative political correctness and people who accept an obviously absurd correction without question.
