      Idk, I think it’s probably just a really bad joke from a queer person of color. Doesn’t necessarily means she’s a bigot, just a little off

        Read her comment. There were no jokes in it.

        You can be a gay person of color and a bigot at the same time. It’s pretty stupid, but it happens.

          what in there indicates animosity?

          Again, shit jokes are shit.

          Everything in the article seems to point to an individual who was too comfortable making a shit joke about a community she had I graduated herself into

            At no point in her excuses did she say she was joking. She said she is gay and a POC, that she is scared of the consequences of her actions, and that if she was Haitian she would be upset.

            She actually never even says she was sorry, just weasel words like “it just exploded” and “this was not my intent” and “was never meant to be seen outside of Springfield.”

            She minimizes, back tracks and redirects blame, but never once says the words “I’m sorry” or “it was a joke that got out of hand.”

            Those are the actions of a bigot running away from consequences, not a person who made an earnest mistake and is remorseful.
