Breitbart ^ | September 25, 2016 | Daniel Nussbaum

Newly announced Saturday Night Live cast member Melissa Villaseñor — the first Latina cast member in the show’s four-decade history — has come under fire for apparently deleting thousands of tweets from her social media account that critics have deemed racist. The tweets from the 28-year-old Mexican-American comedian — who joined the cast of NBC’s long-running sketch show earlier this month — were first noticed by Grist writer Aura Bogado, who pointed them out on Twitter.

I can’t. Someone else did. Even worse, the term Chicanx also exists.

LOL. I just love it when PC liberals twist in the wind like this. Does NBC fire her? If so, get ready for the La Raza protests about NBC being racist to Latinos. Does NBC keep her on after she issues some “if I offended anyone” apology? If so, get ready for the BLM “NBC is racist against blacks” protests. What will they do? What will they do?

That’s enough. Don’t tell me more. I don’t want to know. Somebody posted a Roger Whittaker video this morning. I think I’ll go watch that again.

I want life to be simple, and linear, as in “the enemy of my enemy is still a piece of sh]t”.

“..that critics have deemed racist.”
“Who are these all powerful critics?”

The individual who wrote the item, referring to themselves in the third person, is “identifying” as multiple Individuals Who Matter, and is telling you (poor, lonely, outnumbered you) what you must think.

When a story says some insignificant incident or opinion “sparks outrage” that means the “reporter” is peeved, and you should be, too.

Don’t be a bigot. Get on the PC bandwagon. Or else.

“Horatio Sanz was so NOT funny...”

The week after Hurricane Katrina, he did a very offensive impression of New Orleans icon, singer Aaron Neville.
I’ve never forgiven that.

I miss that! But he wasn’t funny and I was glad when he wasn’t there any more.

We already subdivided to the individual on the right, but the left is all about subdividing to drive wedges and emotional knee-jerking. Unfortunately, they’ll never arrive there because it doesn’t benefit them.
