Pre-firing her for teen tweets she apologized for several times is garbage, but doing it now as reporters are connecting it to a racist murder spree in Atlanta is beyond tactless. Infuriating to watch coward employers reinforce twitter's 'people are disposable' attitude.

Look at this crap. NYT *knows how old the tweets are*. Disgusting to do this to McCammond. 
2011: teenaged Alexi makes joke about "Asian eyes" (for which she'd apologize repeatedly).
2021--TEN YEARS LATER--NY Times writes this sentence: "The scrutiny of her tweets has come at a time of heightened concern about violence and harassment directed against Asian-Americans."

I just don't know how you do this to someone. I'm appalled.
