This sort of outrage is also now manifesting itself at school.
My daughter has (had) a number of friends. All colours and backgrounds.
A couple of weeks ago she said to her best friend that she was 'too black to be her friend.' Obviously a joke and the friend knew it was a joke. They are best mates. The friend laughed about it. It is a bizarrely surreal comment to make.
The outrage of other people though has been ridiculous. They are all 13, but there have been accusations of racism and slander and allsorts and now her entire friend group has fallen out. The only one now talking to her and still her friend is the friend she made the comment to.
Others now are totally blanking my daughter and she's had nasty messages by text following these friends telling other people and these outsiders to the group then contacting my daughter to show how disgusted they are.
Bloody ridiculous.
