      Person A is of race [X] says everyone of race [Y] is evil and inferior. Person B is of race [Y] says everyone of race [X] is evil and inferior. I say both are racists. Others argue only one is. Logic dictates one of us is wrong. Apparently people don't learn logic anymore.

      The argument is that she was mocking the racism that is standard on social media by simply reversing its terms. She is doing a parody of that racism, including flipping a statement of Andrew Sullivan himself? Her remarks aren’t a rant that came out of nowhere.

          Yeah. Some people are obviously just hacks and/or extremists and can’t figure this out. But these painfully literal readings of a serious of cultural inversions *designed* to shock readers out of their complacent acceptance of “ordinary” racism are absurd. C’mon!

          The lengths to which you guys will go, the intellectual and moral knots into which you will tie yourselves, to excuse this transparently racist garbage, is really amazing.

          Yeah, b/c I'm an idiot who's blind to brilliant satire. Like this: “oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.” Or: “Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants." Swiftian. Yeah.

          Let's take this step by step. Jeong tweeted: "are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins." Is that racist? Yes or no?
