What about the dude who was fired for Tweeting about the efficacy of nonviolent protests or the reporter who was pushed out because he interviewed a black person with opinions that his employer/colleagues didn’t feel black people should have? Or the professor suspended for using a Chinese word that sounds vaguely like an English slur? Or the utility company employee who was canned for accidentally making the “ok” gesture? Or the kid who was accosted by a group of black nationalists and subjected to defamation by every media outlet in the country to the effect that he received death threats and threats of violence even from celebrities? These are literally just examples off the top of my head, but I can go on.
