People who get defensive over racists getting fired for being racist are suspect Because firing them doesn't address the root cause or reason of why they're racist. In fact it can lead to them just becoming more racist. If Person A suddenly becomes a social pariah and companies across the nation refuse to hire them because there's video of them saying a choice word then guess who is going to come knocking on their door? People with an agenda. The KKK. White supremacists. They're going to offer them a group, an identity, a belonging. They're going to receive employment or opportunity within racist circles. And become more and more racist. I get firing actual violent, or hate filled racists. But it shouldn't be the first step for non violent ones or uneducated ones. Simply being labeled (whether one is or not) a racist shouldn't be an effective (social) death sentence, because there are bad elements that will take advantage of the disaffected. --- The name is wackyteen for a reason.
