Recent example of this is a girl who was singing 3 seconds of a rap song on snapchat as a 15 year old which included the N word. 3 years later she was cancel cultured on twitter and had to withdraw from her dream college she got into. not defending this, just a data point

- adamsea 6y agoWithout commenting on what was fair or not for that girl, what I took away from The NY Times article about it was just how much racism was blithely floating around the school and the community.
- 93po 6y agoForgive me for not trusting the NYT to be a reliable source of how much racism happens inside a specific school in an article designed to drive outrage about racism.
- adamsea 6y agoWhy not? Are you saying you distrust the folks who were interviewed? Did you read the article? If so, what then was your take on it? [EDIT: um, also, I believe it is right and ethical to feel outrage about racism, so I appreciate journalism which points it out and discusses it. And; the article was a lot more nuanced than “driving outrage about racism.” That’s a pretty shallow interpretation - the article is clear about the complications of the kind of “outing” that occurred and shared multiple views about it. I think maybe your implication was that said racism does not exist in this case? Feel free to explain more about what you meant :)]
- adamsea 6y agoLove it. We’re downvoting being outraged about racism now, huh? Is that it?
