And not you guys pretending that she doesn't have a point when there was a thread on here only a few days ago about Twitter users calling Ellen Pompeo racist for using black emoji. But I forgot people on here hate Marina so irrationally that they'll drag her for just about anything they would co-sign someone else for doing.  |
But in this case, if SJWs were concerned that she put her hair in an ambiguously asian style and wore that robe, it's not their fault that they didn't know that the hotel provided them. There are good and bad people of any community. It's silly to pick on an entire movement about speaking about social justice and not letting it slide just because some vocal ones take it too far.
We absolutely should remain calling out instances of appropriation and injustice so that we can identify them and weed them out. There are tons of real instances of it, if some instances where that is not the case get mistaken, I think we can handle it. I think white people, with all their privilege, can probably handle having an assumption about them.
If this was so predictable to her, maybe she should have come with an explanation at the beginning, or considered the way that her image would be perceived by a lot of people, if that perception is not at all what she meant it to be.
