From a business perspective, I understand why Disney had to fire James Gunn and why Disney owned ABC had to fire Roseanne Barr.

Can't believe Sarah Jeong isn't fired as well. Those tweets are awful.

Roseanne is different because she was being racist in the present while the other two said questionable things years ago.

I don't want people getting fired for tweets, but Sarah typed these things over the last 3-4 years... That isn't exactly some angry youthful rant in the distant past.
