Be excellent to each other.
Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option.

Which leads in perfectly to another joke from the US version of The Office where Dwight claims that Kelly, of Indian heritage, doesn’t qualify for their parent company Sabre’s “Print in All Colours” initiative because Indian people are technically Caucasian

Reminds me of that old chestnut of the white guy from South Africa who, after emigrating to the US, got into trouble for stating he was "African-American."

I had a friend who moved to the US from South Africa as a kid. When "African-American" started being used she was very confused. She would ask "How is X 'African' when he was born in New Jersey and only speaks English while I was born in South Africa and speak Swahili and Xhosa is not African just because Im white?" It was then I started realizing how racist some of the attempts to counter racism ended up being.
