This was going to be the end result all along wasn’t it?
An acquaintance of mine (half swede, half filipino) got fired for calling his ex ‘white trash’, the crazy fuck reported it to his Portland based company. I’m not condoning the behavior (I actually hate the guy) but would he really have received the same punishment if he had said the asian slur, or the nword? Somehow, I don’t think so. For every instance of some highly publicised ‘cancellation’, there’s probably 2x as many ‘untouchables’ being railroaded for just a hint of violation of those same rules.
