I think that's the same person I'm thinking of. I've known her for over 20 yrs via the old parrot listservs; she's always been outspoken. But yeah, FB can be pretty nasty with that sort of thing.
There was a discussion on a local-to-us FB page about the h.s. changing the name of the team from "Red Men" to something else due to its being offensive to Native Americans. One of my friends, who is native, got a 24-hour FB timeout for asking one of the screeching racists how would he like it if they changed the name to "White Men." FB told him it was racist. WTF. The Reichwing snowflakes are out in force.
