[quote=Anonymous]Again, let's stipulate that her tweet (for which she has apologized) was unnecessary and thoughtless. Let's even go further and say that her tweet reeked of racial and class entitlement. Stipulate all that. But: Why has her book contract been cancelled? In exactly what way is social justice enhanced by preventing her novel from being published? That's the kind of sick sh*t that happens in totalitarian societies. Twitter mobs go after you; your friends and colleagues instantly desert you and condemn you; you become a non-person. This does not advance racial justice. It just adds another injustice on top of the first.[/quote]
