[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Again, let's stipulate that her tweet (for which she has apologized) was [b]unnecessary and thoughtless. Let's even go further and say that her tweet reeked of racial and class entitlement. [/b] 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] I dispute the bolded. People go on social media all the time to complain about service. I have no issue with her tweet. [/quote] Except the woman wasn't in service. She was a fellow rider, probably heading to her early morning shift. [/quote]
