Which fails to recognize the value of denouncing Sacco's statement to being with.
@nberlat -
Does denouncing a tweet by a non notable person a million times have substantial increased value over the initial denunciation?

One million people denouncing a racist statement does have a substantial increased value over one person doing so, yes.
@nberlat -
How, in this case?
-
she made a mistake, which if two or three people pointed it out, she could have apologized & that would have been the end of it.

instead it's a national firestorm which lost her her job...

I have trouble seeing the benefit of calling out rather than calling in in a case like this where it's not a public figure.

It looks like we're not going to agree on the issue of whether there's value to many people denouncing a racist statement.
