        What's even funnier about this is that she's going to sue the hospital four discrimination and wrongful suspension. This outrage culture is going to destroy society.

        Imagine firing a nurse, a person we're desperately in need of, because they offended you.

        I'd put good money on everyone being offended for someone else. The problem is of course there is no one else. Just a bunch of people feigning outrage

        So even when everyone knows the context people still get mad/play the victim and she loses her job. Racism is in danger of loosing its meaning and becoming weaponised...moreso

        I can’t say how I feel about this, but personal and professional lives should be separate. I remember when drug testing someone for pot was protested under the guise of what I do on my own time.

        Shockingly, that’s not even the most offensive costume I’ve seen this Halloween.https://twitter.com/MsEntropy/status/1057601054072889344?s=20 …

        Ms. Entropy / سيدة الفتنة @MsEntropy
        [clean version] Happy Halloween! I’m not even going with “Native culture is not a costume” here. Because “Sexy Missing and Murdered Indigenous Woman” - complete with BULLET HOLES IN THE HEAD AND CHEST - is more than enough for critique. Kathryn Bee, you are repulsive. #NdN pic.twitter.com/LtbHIco6QB

        We still need medical professionals, even of they're uncouth. She just may save the lives of underprivileged youths.

        but just what was it that she actually did that harmed anybody in any way, that justifies losing her job?

        Good point, like what's her contract say? Either way, suuuuuuuper racially charged and insensitive obvs. She'll probably go on resenting ppl of color for this, for like ever.

        how? is dressing up as a person you admire racially charged? Obviously if she really really likes dianna ross she's not racist herself and dressing up as her what obviously not coming from a racist place. People should stop putting words in other people's mouths, so to speak.
