A lot of times in these discussions folks like to abstract the actual instance that causes a controversy like this and instead change the conversation to rant about political correctness, centralization, and free speech. If you wrote what this guy wrote in an email at your job you would be fired on the spot, it doesn't matter who you worked for or what industry. No one would be able to get away with this kind of speech on a public forum because it's so outside of societies agreed realm of discourse and deliberately involves language used to justify literal genocide. Too often online the actual details of controversy are overlooked so folks can get all high minded about free speech. In all honesty it seems like a form of appeasement to me. Take a bit here, take a bit there, and eventually you end up with a gunman shooting up a synagogue and a woman being run over at a white nationalist rally.
