Here’s where your whataboutism has some holes.

Conservatives heavily pushed the idea of the model minority to help push minority groups against one another.
I’ve been pretty dismayed at how many people are focusing on trying to parse out whether his issue was with Asians, women or sex workers, as if it couldn’t be (as it clearly was) all three. Captain Baker, the women were targeted for being Asian AND female AND sex workers, FFS. /an Asian female sex worker
You don’t need to be a Trump supporter to get riled up by the rhetoric that’s going around. Minority groups have always been pitted against each other by the supremacist culture. So if the wider culture is giving you permission to act on your worst impulses, well, there you go.
If we’re to believe the shooter’s defense (which, I guess, the cops really really want us to do) he views the parlors as places of sin. Rather than take it upon himself to fix his problems he wanted to “cleanse” his environment of sin. He wanted to eliminate Asian women. He viewed them as contaminating him.
Thank you for acknowledging that this was both anti-Asian and anti-woman violence. All of the coverage that is failing to call out the targeting of (specifically Asian) women is making me crazy. Pointing out that it is both does not take away from the fact that we are experiencing an acute problem with anti-Asian…
Correct.
What they are mad about is being held accountable, period.
Looks like the school district is in a wealthy, suburban part of town, where you won’t find many “keep Austin weird” types.
I imagine there are many other school districts who will be more than happy to employ this teacher. That said, I’m a little surprised this happened in Austin. I mean, I know it’s Texas but everyone always claims that Austin is a tiny oasis in a state full of crazy.
I don’t think Morgan is nice, but maybe he has been so to her. “Nice” racists exist. Boy do they exist. I bet that the woman who made a five year old kid stick his hand in the toilet recently—she white, he black—has dozens of friends, relatives, church goers, and parents of her students who are ready to attest to her…
I’m confused why you’re waiting? This and that are separate issues. I don’t see this being “Canceled”, I see parents overreacting to fuck up a teacher’s life because they’re idiots.
Cancel culture has always been more of a right-wing thing anyway. Cancel culture started with the Hollywood Blacklist, and continued destroying the careers of anyone LGBT+, the Dixie Chicks, Colin Kaepernick, and a bunch of other people. They’re only mad about it now because it’s being used against them.
Of all people Sharon Osborne, wife of Ozzy Fucking Osborne, parent to two children who have a very rough time with the media, I would think she would understand the media attacking someone unfairly. Friend or no friend....if she can’t see that Piers Morgan quite clearly has a very vile, vindictive agenda when it…

Sharon gave a master class on white fragility and white female victimhood live and in color and got dragged by black twitter in real time. And had the nerve (the unmitigated gaul) to do it in defense of piers morgan.
Morgan has been publicly bashing Markle for over 5 years. Is that what a nice person does?
The slowly increasing dread of Republicans as they realize that their base is getting smaller and smaller and smaller is kind of delightful, even as they attempt to counterbalance it by going full apartheid (check with South Africa to see if that worked out for them, and it’ll be even harder here since you’re…
As more and more of the pathetic Republican’s wanting changes to voting laws crop up the legal opinions keep saying the same thing. Degrading voter rights will never stand up to legal challenges, pure and simple. This hollow “fraud is rife” shit will not stand scrutiny because as “I’m melting” Rudy found out when you…
