"Jhaveri wrote that she was fired after she faced criticism and harassment online over a tweet she posted "responding to the fact that mass shooters are most likely to be white men." The tweet in question said, wrongly, "It's always an angry white man. always." Jhaveri admitted in her post that it was a "dashed off over-generalization."
She said she apologized and deleted the tweet. "It was a careless error of judgement, sent at a heated time, that doesn't represent my commitment to racial equality. I regret sending it," she wrote"
So a journalist whose primarily job is to attempt to convey the events of the world in a factual way made something up without fact checking and then was fired for it. How about just not making broad over-generalizations in the first place, especially if your job is intended to combat that? Pulling out the "persecution" card seems disingenuous here and speaks the reporters lack of judgement especially in light of the "Alexi Mccammond" situation.
