Please elaborate on the harm caused by her tweet.

Edit: Maybe I'm not being clear. What I mean is can you point to any harm done by her tweet besides hurt feelings?

Being publicly racist harms people towards which said racism is directed at. I honestly thought that was an established truth.

Except she wasn't being racist, she was being sarcastic about racism.

And in any case, no crime deserves the horrific public shaming she got.
