I don't appreciate the racist language at all. I would like to add some aditional context on this story. It isn't quite the support of attacking people of colour that this might seem at first glance.
Johnny Somali (real name Ramsey Khalid Ismael) was filming himself in Japan randomly acosting people in the streets. He then went to South Korea and 'invited' people to do something about it. He has been accused of desecrating a South Korean monument to women subjected to sexual slavery in World War II.
He was attacked by koreans, live streaming his acts and him being attacked, and has recently plead guilty in court and faces a mandatory prison sentence and banned from leaving the country.

Holy fuck, that's dark.
Twitter really is a fucking dumpster fire. Reading about twitter beef is iasip levels of bad people being shitty to each other
Yeah, when it comes to Johnny Somali, this is probably the only time I'll agree with a fucking Nazi. Not on the using of slurs, but on the celebrating of the fucking up of Johnny Somali. Hiroshiima. Nagasaki. They'll fuck him up once, they'll do it again.
Lets be real, the only reason she's celebrating it is because of the slur.
Japanese and Korean people may look the same, but they are culturally very different. Japanese people are very docile compared to Koreans. If you slap a Japanese person they may apologize to you. Koreans might slap you first.
I don't know all the context with that but this tweet isn't some outlier. The only reason she cares IS the racist language. That's what she's advocating for here.
Yeah, Johnny absolutely deserves basically whatever is coming to him at this point, not because he is black, not because he is a foreigner in another country...
... But because, for the last like... year? two years now?
All he does is go to random countries... Israel, Japan, South Korea, other places... and he streams himself harassing/stalking women, often physically, shouting rascist shit at random people, fuck in Israel I think he actually groped a female cop/soldier at one point?... going around blasting music at absurd volumes in small stores, throwing food and shit everywhere, picking fights with random males ...
... all because his chat donates to him with requests/demands for absurd behavior.
Its like twitch plays pokemon, but instead of a video game it is real life.
What has happened since he showed up in SK is that his infamy had gotten to a high enough level that basically the Koreans took matters into their own hands.
Johnny has been followed by drones and stream watchers who have basically been directing vigilantes, who then just show up where Johnny is, often in numbers, and just shadow him, beat the shit out of him after he starts shit, or blockade his motel and prevent him from being able to leave.
Within the last... month, roughly, enough of these encounters have gotten actual serious police attention that Johnny is now fucked looking at 10 years in jail in a country that hates him, where he doesn't speak the languahe, and most of the vigilantes either got very minor charges or just let off.
A lot of youtubers have covered this, you can find some good 'lolcow documentary' style videos.
Johnny is a piece of shit, he deserves all whats happening to him imo, but it again has nothing to do with his race or his simply being a foreigner.
It is because he is a dangerous criminal nuisance who goes out of his way to be as rascist and vile and disrespetful as possible.
