If you're tsk-tsking about that Sarah Jeong compilation screenshot, you're endorsing a deliberate hatchet job and you're a punk.
"I think this statement is inappropriate" is fine. You're welcome to your opinion. "I think these statements are inappropriate" is bullshit, because there's like a dozen of them, they're all completely different in intent, and most of them are completely stripped of context.
If you're going to talk shit about Jeong, go back and do the research yourself—all her tweets are still up. Don't let someone else do it for you, when a moment's digging will make it obvious they're not acting in good faith.
If you don't know which of Jeong's tweets are deliberate, direct parodies of other people's statements, intended to expose the fatuity of racism through ridicule, what the hell are you doing expressing an opinion on them?
You want to have an actual conversation? Pick a tweet, find the original thread, and explain why you think it's bad. Be warned, though: you may actually discover you agree with it, and have to go back and find another.
Fun fact: Literally every person yelling at me about this thread has included the exact same multi-tweet screenshot I spent the thread criticizing as "evidence" that I'm wrong.
Oh, and just one more thing. If, after reading Jeong's tweets in context, you're still mad about some of them, that's fine. Be mad. She's said she regrets her posting style, and that she doesn't tweet that way any more.
This thread isn't "you can't be mad about anything Jeong said." It's "take the time to actually investigate what someone said for yourself before getting mad about it, PARTICULARLY if you're going to adopt a high-minded tone about the whole thing."
