And if you don't think the use of "colored people" by white people was a problem 50 or 60 years ago, why is it (and was it) so jarring when Nellie Forbush used it to describe Emile's kids in South Pacific?

Because context.

C'mon, we're better than this.

And the context of Rainbow's tweets was to mock and belittle in order to elicit humor from others. He has a long history of transphobia that didn't end in 2010. He also has a long history of making jokes at the expense of racial minorities. He's been under fire for this for multiple days now and he has yet to apologize.
