How come people on twitter are racist?

[Sarah]

If you look up Kanye west on twitter a lot of people call him the N word because of what he did to Taylor Swift. I know what Kanye did was wrong and he is a jackass for doing it, but I still don't think he deserves to be called racist names like that though. I mean its only the VMAs ffs, not something truly important or anything. I mean its in the past and over and he apologized for it and she forgave him.

White people are really racist online, however I have never heard a white person say something racist or use the N world in real life. Its because its the internet, just let it go.

There are racist people on this site too..

But speaking of Kanye and Taylor, yeah he apologized for the incident, but he's proven through his actions that he's very self- centered and egotistical and for all we know he might of apologized to her just for his own good. (to save his career)

[Riddle me this]

Because they can hide behind a computer. I don't think he was racist. He was just stating his opinion on who's video was better. He shouldn't have added his 2 cents. Now the people who call him the "n-word" they are the ones who are racist.
