#3I don't understand why the first Tweet is offensive or disrespectful? Same goes for the PG comments last week.
People are very quick to escalate stuff like this when there are enough real injustices around where they could be targeting their time and efforts.

A quick glance at the urban dictionary should be enough to get you started: http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=miss%20thang
It's a bit like reminding African American participants to sign up using one of the terms from http://www.rsdb.org/race/blacks

The thing is, just because you or I don't see how something is offensive doesn't mean that it isn't. A phrase like "real injustice" is our way of subtly saying "we get to define what injustice is, you don't."

Thats it. I was confused too. I thought the term was just slang, and not a slur that meant anything. So, shows how we all can learn and be better.

Because there is now a culture of co-opting or manufacturing outrage as part of some sort of ridiculous social justice movement. Unfortunately twitter, tumbler, etc gives idiots a loud mouthpiece for things like this when previously they would have just been ignored.

Yep,yep. I misread the headline and read this hoping for insights from Troy McClure. I really don't care about how a person on Twitter was offended by a tweet. I learned nothing from this blog post.
