How is she is victim here? How is Twitter bad here? She made two racist comments in 1 tweet on her own will. That is not something that should be taken lightly, no matter what the platform. EDIT: Just to be clear, I'm not commenting on whether firing her was fair or not, but rather how her completely intentional tweets makes Twitter the bad guy.
So far, what I see is: "Don't use Twitter." And on the smaller side is "Don't upload shit to social media."

Mob justice mentality certainly sucks though, imagine someone simply inspects one of your tweets, rewrites it and posts it somewhere and says "hey this person's racist, call their employer #{employer-number}".
To paraphrase the famous comic from the New Yorker, "On the Internet, no one knows that you have nuance"
Earlier quoted context omitted.

Racist jokes are never harmless.
Edit: Maybe I'm not being clear. What I mean is can you point to any harm done by her tweet besides hurt feelings?
Aren't all these Twitter sh*tstorms over within a few days, or in the worst case, weeks? People should just sit them out and not panic / call their lives ruined. Seems to work even for politicians.
People's names become toxic. Note that the Donglegate guy wouldn't let his name be used, and another woman in the article wouldn't do a followup interview.
