And to add to why I posted it in the first place: Because while, yes, the Internet is full of ignorant assholes, the fact that it seemed like most of those tweets were coming from people who are youngish just made it seem even more awful. I have a prejudiced view of racists as being older, fat, white men in wife beaters. Because I am racist that way.

And I also posted it because while you and I have a way more experience with the Internet than would ever be considered healthy, there are people (mainly family) who follow me on Facebook who don't, and I felt like they might get something out of it....Something most likely akin to feeling awful about life, so in retrospect, probably not a good reason for posting.
