You guys can distinguish what's is real and what are jokes. That's just sad! I'm done with this thread.

I explained to you how some of her tweets were demeaning over-generalizations of white people and you countered that with they were jokes. As a result, the burden of proof is on you to prove that all her tweets were jokes. For your claim of Jeong to not have made any racist statements to be true, it means that zero of her tweets were racist. To prove that her tweets are jokes, you have to show the context since otherwise, they may be unprovoked statements. Linking to her tweet in Aug. 2, 2018 after she got caught and where she claimed those tweets were jokes is not evidence. Her claim is as good as your claim in that the burden of proof is also on her to show that she only made jokes.

Or let me guess, you just don't want to put in the legwork to verify because it's too much work for you.

Jesus people are just throwing around the word racism so casually. Everyone have a different opinion of the definition what racism is, and people need to stop calling other people racists, it's a very cruel word to call someone. The odds that this woman is a racist is basically 0%.

Usually it was mostly just leftist and hippies using the word and now right-wingers joining too, why? Stop being a bunch of babies.

And seeing trump-supporters here and on twitter calling her a racist is hilarious, it's like wtf????

This. Someone might find something racist ehile b others actually take it into context and understood that it's a joke.

She was making jokes and counter trolling so if she directed it at Blacks it wouldn't be racist. It would still be in bad taste but not racist.

Oh, please. Those tweets are as bad as they come.

Not a single person could say the things below in public without getting fired. Not one.

Dumbass fucking black people
oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old black men
#CancelBlackPeople
black men are bullshit

The sad thing is that not only would the very posters in here defending her call for someone to be fired for saying those things, but so would Jeong and the NYT. Hypocrisy at its finest.

Yeah yeah sure... Not being disgusted by the comments is one thing, to pretend if it was a white male doing it against black women wouldn't get the person fired is totally different one.

As long as it's a joke I wouldnt.



As long as you're bashing white people why not? Cis White Male scums are the targets these days. Why fight amongst themselves right? :P

Racism has a clear definition. It's not subjective. Yes, alot of people misuse it and use to disparage others. The same standard should apply to everyone otherwise what's the point of it.

That definition doesn't even hold up by their own standards
