LOL okay so you’re suggesting she doesn’t have the emotional capacity to keep her racist thoughts to herself and that’s understandable?
Treating an asshole like an asshole is always understandable. But since we don't see what she was responding to, I couldn't tell you if it was understandable and neither can you.
If she’d been talking about black people would you still have the same opinion?
No. Because blacks don't have the cultural and institutional power we white folks have.
Even if her responses stemmed from online bullying, lashing out with such ugliness is not the kind of trait I’d want in a person representing my company.
She wasn't hired to "represent the company". She was hired for her expertise in internet culture and technology.
If you don’t have the wherewithal to keep your racist thoughts on a leash, it tells me you need some work in the mental and emotional department.
Or not. Here's what have you guys upset. Rosanne got fired and she didn't. That's it.
