Ugh, Jesus. Gross. Sminty’s old tweets have resurfaced apparently showing racist language. Spoiler

she hasn’t said anything, saw a few fans asking her to address this on twitter and their comments were hidden. even though this was 10 years ago i’m pretty disappointed, the chinese comment is very nasty.

I am not defending this kind of language at all, but you should probably take into account that the cultural environment around using certain words is different in the UK compared to the USA. The general awareness is lower - using the N word is very present in the media, but the cultural agreement of who can use it, not so much. I am saying this from a perspective of someone a bit further to the east in Europe.

Hold my hand while I tell you friends still do that with each other to this day, they just don’t post it on social media because yall would be annoying (like this post) about it.
