7. When I was in high school, some kids dropped the n-word (& other slurs) like they were in a Tarantino movie. It was upsetting to me, moreso to the (few) black kids. Does Soave's empathy extend to non-white kids who hear racial slurs or just to white kids who use them?

8. Imagine thinking its a grave injustice that a kid who used the n-word & joined an organization well known for employing racists (Turning Points USA) doesn't get into Harvard. I live in a world far worse things happen to far better kids.https://twitter.com/robbysoave/status/1131661638099243008 …

9. Finally I would question the premise that Kashuv is being destroyed by this. Trump is president & Ralph Northam is governor. Kashuv will be fine. In 10 years he'll be an editor at Reason with a Koch grant to write a book on the glories of the n-word.https://twitter.com/robbysoave/status/1131596506602049537 …

Isn't there anything between "normalization" and "you should be ostracized forever for teenage use of ethnic slurs even if you apologize"?
@robbysoave -
Who is saying he's ostracized forever? He was kicked out of TPUSA (a hard thing to achieve!) and not getting into Harvard (as most kids who apply to Harvard do). He'll be fine. Let him grow up.

Soave's narrative does not require that the wrong be normalized. It is easy to see other instances where we forgive infractions of teens while still not liking the infractions. Shoplifting is bad, but someone not losing a job for shoplifting as a teen would be fine.
-
the problem in this case is that he is a spokesmen for conservatives and keeping a racist on board would be a problem in a way that keeping a shoplifter would not. (it is complicated since conservatives also want to preserve a space for being moderately racist)
