Do you need another sign of civilization's end? Here's one: I tweeted "Immigrants: we get the job done" with a video of Mirai Nagasu's triple axel. The line is a Hamilton reference. I know she was born in Cali. Her parents are immigrants. I was celebrating her and them. (1/2)

Many people have similarly celebrated her story. For example:https://www.huffingtonpost.com/entry/mirai-nagasu-michelle-kwan_us_5a81bea7e4b044b3821fc92d …

You, as a WHITE person don't get to quote a musical by minorities when referring to another minority, especially when the quote uses "we." YOU aren't WE. It's condescending. What's next, are you going to quote a rap with the n-word when referring to Shani Davis?

Bari's original tweet said, "they" get the job done.

Never delete a tweet. It is a sign of weakness. The sharks will feed on the blood of archives and photo shopped screenshots.

Don't ever give in to the outrage artists. They're just using the situation as an excuse to acquire power

Hmmm. I find it quite hilarious you're playing the victim when it was your mistake and not anyone else's, and according to you the people who stood up against you said they want you dead? I haven't seen one person say that.

You honestly don’t see the problem with assuming a non-white person is an immigrant? Just apologize and move on.

Well. You could just accept it was rude. Unthoughtful. But we are here, with you wanting to play the victim. So that's humanity now.

Those playing the victim over Bari’s innocuous tweet are like a mindless Trump supporter seen through the looking glass.
