Affinity Magazine, a publication made up of teen writers covering social justice garbage for other teens, got a little too smug for its own good and tweeted this about the Olsen twins at the #MetGala:
See SJW magazine tweet something stupid.
See SJW magazine get nuked over stupid tweet.
See SJW magazine delete tweet.
Don’t be an SJW magazine.
Uh, it was funny. Mean funny. pic.twitter.com/DjEn95oPS6

They tried to walk it back and pretend it was actually a thoughtful tweet:
People of color have more melanocytes in their skin cells. It helps produce more melanin which helps protect from UV rays.

K.
White people are more susceptible to UV rays thus the collagen in their skin breaks down faster which cause them to age and wrinkle faster.

Just keep digging that hole deeper.
The point was to show the difference in how people of color vs white people age. Not to make fun of the Olsen twins.

No, the point was to make fun of white people.
We know.
Finally an apology:
Our intent was not to mock people who suffer from eating disorders or drug abuse. It was simply to highlight how differently people age.

It was simply to make fun of white people and pander to social justice warriors; the ‘teen’ behind this tweet really showed their immaturity and inexperience.
So you used race to generalize every individual. You're not a credible source of any information.

It’s what social justice warriors do.
It's ok. We didn't expect much better from you. #SoftBigotry. #LowExpections. #Whatilearnedtoday

Nope.
Admits it's in poor taste but keeps up original post that you admitted was in poor taste? Get your PR/Social manager from @united ?

They did eventually delete the tweet, apparently they were shamed into it though.
Let’s hope they live and learn.
