Now you're changing words. The root post describes Sarah Jeong perfectly:
> caustic tweeters on the other side of the isle can often be found with blue verification checkmarks (and unchecked aggressive tweets).
She copied everything except the race/ethnicity the tweets were attacking.
And the number of left-wing media outlets that rose to defend her makes me think it's fair to describe this as an issue of bias based on side of the political spectrum, as the root comment said:
> What happens is one side of the political spectrum gets their worst actors banned while caustic tweeters on the other side of the isle can often be found with blue verification checkmarks (and unchecked aggressive tweets).
In short, much of the left-wing defends anti-white racism and Twitter allows it.
- pvg 8y agoI've got a zillion reply thread here explaining at length why this 'replacing just the race/ethnicity' is not remotely the rhetorical killshot you seem to think it is. You are just repeating it to me. I'm not sure what else to tell you at this point.

- leereeves 8y agoAnd I'm not sure how to communicate with someone who dismisses racism as 'silly tweets'. Our points of view simply do not intersect. But when you say this isn't a left-wing issue, I think you fail to consider the number of people in the left wing who've argued that "racism against white people is impossible" and the support for Sarah Jeong in the left wing media.
