here's a clip taken from youtube of steven crowder, who @TeamYouTube have said does not violate their policies. youtube are apparently happy to have this material on their websitepic.twitter.com/NsIDtHAwCE
I don't wanna be pointed, but have you considered that the "difference" that keeps you from getting worked up is that Maza is a lone individual who you can empathize with, while an overall racial group is a bit harder to emotionally identify with, even if the attacks are similar?

I don't think the attacks are similar. For one, the clip posted above isn't really an attack. It's just broad, extra-not-funny stereotype "jokes". But the attacks on Maza are definitely attacks. They are targeting him specifically for scorn and ridicule.

If Crowder did a bit about "lispy queers" generally I would have a similar reaction to the clip above. It's gross, not funny, but not bannable. When you start targeting individuals with specific harassment, it's very different to me (whether I like the targeted person or not)
