The original tweet that put the AP in hot water with social media users came from the @APStylebook account on Thursday. It suggested doing away with"dehumanizing ‘the’ labels," including"the poor" and, inexplicably,"the French."It read,"We recommend avoiding general and often dehumanizing ‘the’ labels such as the poor, the mentally ill, the French, the disabled, the college-educated.

As Fox News Digital mentioned Thursday, even the French Embassy in the U.S.’ official Twitter account dunked on the Associated Press for its Twitter blunder.
