Saying something like, "Justified outrage over clearly racist comments resulted in Roseanne's firing" is as concise and gets across that you know they were offensive and you're honestly curious about the economics of her firing
Sigh. So the only "neutral" response is to take your position? How is that neutral? You assume your own correctness - highly dangerous to truth-seeking. Rather than detesting the narrow issue of racism, why not detest its parent, tribalism, and find it in yourself?
I'm not asking you to take a stance on if it's justified to fire her. But since you said that her comments were offensive, I assumed that you felt that people being offended was justified. Or am I misunderstanding you?
By "offensive" I meant only that many people were offended by them. I did not mean to imply anything about my feelings.
Ah, then I'm sorry for misunderstanding you. To get back to the core thing about coming off as neutral, taking off the lead-in about "progressive outrage" would do the trick. The two terms are too loaded to seem neutral
That's true, I do hear the anti-SJW crowd say "progressive outrage" contemptuously a lot. Hmm, how about: "Roseanne was canceled for a tweet by the title character that ABC considered racist"? Or maybe "ABC and many others considered racist?"
The "considered" still makes you lean towards the right, and considerably less so. I guess there's no perfect way to be 100% neutral but it's a lot closer to that than before.
