Trouble is...no one can post anything really without considering racist, ageist, anything-gist comments! It's all been made too touchy and ripe for people to claim an ism!!. For gawds sake people lighten up, make light of your problems don't take them to heart.... Don't jump at the slightest hint of an ism....go with the flow...oh but hey that's not on today is it. You're not 'en trend' unless you're suing or contesting this or that. Worra a soddin world this is...
ABC may have acted in a highly moral way but it was just shortcutting to the inevitable outcome. If they'd kept on with the show, viewing figures would have dropped, advertisers would have withdrawn sponsorship and the outcome would have been the same but a lot more messy on the way. So yes, ABC did the right thing whichever way you look at it.

It doesn’t work like that.
It’s about protecting the brand. If ABC took no action, then they would be seen by some to be guilty by proxy.
I don’t think that what she said about Soro could be ignored, let alone the Valerie Jarrett insults.
Black people really don’t need to be called apes in 2018, and Jewish people really don’t need people tweeting that they lead fellow Jews to the Nazis in the Second World War. Especially when it’s mathematically impossible.

Even the makers of her sleeping medication has commented...
//The drug manufacturer Sanofi felt compelled to clarify that one of its most popular medications, the sedative Ambien, does not cause racism. They tweeted that “while all pharmaceutical treatments have side effects, racism is not a known side effect of any Sanofi medication”.
The company’s statement comes after Roseanne Barr partly blamed the drug for the series of racist tweets which led to her sitcom being cancelled.//

\\Also, those words couldn't be directed at anyone unless they were black. It wouldn't make sense. Racists frequently use the ape thing to attack black people. They wouldn't write something like that about a white person, or someone from China. It wouldn't make sense.//
Jeremy Clarkson was forever being called an orangutan by his colleges.
