You're right: the quotes do a shit job of illustrating thangalin's point, because you can find anyone supporting anything on Twitter. Regardless, "Stop basing your entire worldview on what 20 women said on twitter.com in 2014" is still an unnecessarily rude way to make that point.

Parent doesn’t have a point because they’re rejecting the reality of height discrimination and the language that perpetuates it. Pretending like this isn’t a thing isn’t constructive, and reinforces the original point that this wouldn’t be tolerated with respect to race.

You could just as easily go and find 20 tweets from 2014 of women saying they refuse to date black men. If you build your worldview by cherry picking the opinions of 20 twitter users out of 300 million and treating them as gospel then you can create any bleak reality you want.

If I assert that many people like Justin Bieber and show you many tweets saying as much, do you infer that it was the tweets that made me form this opinion?
