    Michael, You have mansplained to a female-identified person. That’s as much or more of an intersectional lapse as “othering” a US citizen. Just a friendly reminder. .

        This is actually just embarrassing. Bari made an incorrect and easily rectifiable assumption about an Olympic athlete being an immigrant when they weren't, and then dug in rather than apologizing. Why @CHSommers is going after the people criticizing her for this, I don't know.

        I believe she also stated in the same tweet that she was aware that the athlete in question was born in CA and that the parents were immigrants, just to set the record straight.

        Her exact words were “end of civilization”, not “death”, and I believe she was referring to being called a racist, ghoul, and deserving to die. Her words may have been a bit hyperbolic, but I don’t think they were deserving of overwhelming Twitter outrage.

        Distinction without a difference. I grew up with a portion of my family being Asian and I can tell you they get extremely tired of things like "where are you really from?" That's what sparked the outrage when she called a natural born American an "immigrant."

        Using an over the top reaction as evidence of the "end of civilization" and then refusing to absorb why her comment was offensive is the real problem here. And that a specific group of ppl are defending her is proof of ignorance of this Asian American issue.

        Her comment was hyperbolic, sure. She seems to have made the comment based upon the fact that Nagasu’s parents are, in fact, immigrants, and not solely on the fact that the family is Asian.

        I don't understand Wtf the problem here is. I never Twitter so navigating this crap is a hassle anyways. Maybe someone can explain this to me like Im 5. Is what Bari or Sommers said supposed to be offensive? Is anyone actually offended? I usually appreciate Sams humor but im lost

        Here's what I told my five year old: Being offended doesn't look like fun, but it actually is for some people. So fun that they invent reasons to be offended.

        Did anyone ask anyone of color, perhaps a second-generation immigrant, if they would have been at all offended by the original "they" get the job done tweet? I asked an incredibly reasonable second-generation Laotian and he said, "Yeah, a little bit. Not off my rocker, but yeah."
