    Default Cancel culture claimed a couple of more victims yesterday

    An Indian American editor for USA Today was fired yesterday for tweeting, "It's always an angry white man. Always!" about the Boulder shooting.

    A popular comedian talking to an ESPN reporter on the Morning Bull radio station was fired for saying he likes his women depending on their skin tone, and compared it to his toaster level saying he likes Halley Berry because she has a little mulatto coming through but Serena Williams was too dark for his tastes. When he was asked about Gayle King, he replied that there wasn't even a setting on his toaster for her. They also suspended all the other co-hosts who were in the conversation.

    I feel a lot less sorry for the USA editor because she didn't even apologize for being wrong and said it was racist to be fired for being racist but you know.. it's getting kind of stupid. Are people going to get more and more sensitive until we are afraid give an opinion or joke about anything that offends anyone anymore? If this is just the beginning, we are going to talk like robots for fear of saying anything that can remotely offend anyone.

    Tribal mentality is part of everyone's DNA, as long as it doesn't affect on how we treat individuals we meet in person, do you think it needs to aggressively be stamped out?

    Cancel culture is a joke.

    It's not just a joke, it looks like a bloody circus. We need to distinguish between humour, insults and racism. And until we get back to that, when people understood the boundaries of humour, it won't be very funny.

    There is no boundaries to humor, *****. Why does some authority get to decide "boundaries" on what a free man says.

    I like my toast at the lightest setting. Just enough to melt the butter
