"Not one person has come forward in agreement with your behaviour". What behaviour is that then? Talking about my experiences of racism? Pointing out that apology was a non apology? It really doesn't surprise me anyway. People absolutely love to excuse and minimise racism. My whole life I've had that "oh they're just ignorant". "oh I don't think they meant it that way". "oh they're just from a different generation". "oh well none of us are perfect." It is truly so disheartening.
Amy hasn't even seen the tweets or the apology, by her own admission. Yet felt able to say "they weren't that bad". To clarify (and all the evidence is earlier in the thread), they included:
- Jes saying how annoying a foreign accent was (multiple tweets in this vein)
- Jes expressing her annoyance at hearing "too many" foreign languages for her liking
- Jes calling someone a "Chinese witch"
- Jes calling someone a "scruffy Asian duck"
- Jes saying watching fat people eating makes her sick and they should put down the shovel
Those weren't that bad then?
