I used to enjoy her, but it's clear something is really, terribly wrong with her. What a disgusting, awful, nasty lady.

(43,049 posts)She doesn't like Rice and this is an ugly OTT insult. Lots of people do OTT insults toward people they don't like, even here, and the world doesn't end.
And you need more evidence she's racist or transphobic than a throwaway insult. Part of the problem is people jumping on any little thing to get to their loudspeaker.

(43,049 posts)such distinctions are often lost. Besides, why accuse the tweet of being racist, etc. and not have some assumption of racism on the part of the tweeter? Do non-racists generally post racist bullshit?
As for the tweet itself, as I said, it was a crude insult and crude insults always have some element anti-whatever is being insulted.
Tempest...teapot.

(34,857 posts)I can only go by what she tweets. I don't know if she's a bigot or if she's just saying something offensive for the sake of saying it. It doesn't make her comments any less offensive, though. At least, no more than when Alec Baldwin says something homophobic. Do I know if he hates gays? Of course not. But it doesn't mean what he says sometimes isn't homophobic.
It's a trashy tweet from a trashy comedian who is probably a bit past her prime.

And the more irrelevant they become, the more unhinged they become... although it's hard to determine which comes first.
