    My take on Sarah Jeong? 1). We need to quit mocking/shaming people based on skin color. If you're making fun of "white people," you're not helping. 2). What are the rules on whether past inappropriate tweets are a fireable offense? Let's be consistent/not have a double standard.

        Fireable, no. Not hireable in the first place, yes. Employers must do due-diligence.

        But there is a history of violence against African Americans which really forces a double standard. However you feel about her tweets it would be much worse for a white person to say the same things about black people.

        Disagree. Treating people differently based on the color of their skin is, at best, intolerant and at worst racist. I am a person with brown skin and as a society we should not view Sarah Jeong's behavior as acceptable, whatever the source.

        I have mixed race kids, one with dark skin like me and one with fair skin. I refuse to judge them on that characteristic alone, and it saddens me that people like you will.

        Which you have every right to do; but don't call out those who make fun of brown and black people and expect to be taken seriously.

        I've seen you deny white privilege on national television. Until you fully grasp the reality of that double standard you cannot appreciate why society won't care as much about tweets towards minorities versus white people. Punching down is unseemly.

        How do you define this punching down vs punching up dynamic? How does one relate their privilege against someone else's to identify if they are punching down?
