Who gives an actual damn about the semantics? Usually when people bring up the "but it's not racism" objection, it's an attempt to downplay or marginalize something nasty. You don't like "racism" in this situation? Okay. Then let's go with "prejudiced, biased, venomous bigotry intended to hurt, belittle, and damage people of a different ethnic background." Does that make it prettier? Does that make it dismissable? I mean, seriously, the things she said and the first inclination some people have is to argue about semantics? |
The OP isn't presenting the full picture. She was harassed for years om twitter and people were being racist towards her so she was trolling them by making those jokes. It's just humor and it's in bad taste but it's not racist. Anyway I don't believe that someone should be fired based om something they said years ago.
