[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Come on.  Come ON.  This guy up there acting like he’s discovered water is wet.  Is this a joke?  People facing consequences for their words and deeds is not something new ffs. Unless you’re a white dude I guess.[/quote]
Half of you are amd at me because I pointed out a subjective social change that I don't like and the other half are mad because they don't think anything has changed.

Meanwhile, my prior answer to you was deleted for using a normal english word that happens to sound like a racial slur.  That's a part of this change in itself, but now I can't even talk about it.

I guess you don't see it.  That's ok.  You don't have to.

OP, what I think no one ever wants to admit is that there will be “innocent” victims of societal standards.

There will be, just as there have always been consequences for people of color for falling out of line.  And that’s something that happens when we make progress.

Do you think that the fact that Neera Tanden is a brown woman has nothing to do with the fact that she couldn’t get a position in the administration over MEAN TWEETS?  Like mean tweets ever stopped the nomination of a white man.

People of color and women are always punished for the most minor of indiscretions, and now that white people are getting a taste, it’s cancel culture.

Maybe the larger problem is that our society is so punitive in general.  Everything is your own fault, everything is your responsibility.  No one’s apology is accepted, no one is reformed, once you have a prison record you’re a pariah.  Unless you are rich and white.[/quote]
