I am not sure I follow the last thing you said. The context in the last decade is that these items were still online until a couple of days ago despite, as you point out, notice. So even through the heightened awareness of the recent months, RR did not take them down and they continued to be statements people could read and react to (whether positively or negatively). Is he being fully supportive when he fails to address his own nurturing of these racist and biased stereotypes for a laugh? Moreover, as noted, despite plenty of time to address the subject, the best he could come up with was a tweet about people giving him shit. This places him in distinctly different territory than Siriano.
One more thing: I am not sure I would agree about gay vs straight speakers. There has long been prejudice by gays against their own (and of course transgendered is not necessarily "their own.") Many have bristled at the use of "straight-acting" on dating sites for a long time. |
