Jeez, could you imagine the uproar if a white guy had tweeted the same stuff she did about blacks?

She's a comedian. Some of her comedy deals with race. She's deleting things because people don't understand her style of comedy yet, but those who know her comedy realize that her tweets are to be viewed in a comedic light and not in a hardcore racist light. She most certainly is a comedian and not a racist. The same applies to a large variety of other comedians, male and female.
She's female +1 and Latina +1. She's off the hook. Can't be a racist.
Only heterosexual whites can be racist. A black gay female can walk up to her white boss calling him cracker over & over & saying ALL white people are dumb & she'd probably get a raise.
A white heterosexual can mention something about a black person (not racist) in a 1 on 1 private conversation 10 years ago & lose his/her job today.
First, it is hard to believe they never hired a Latina until now. And what a gem they hired. That stuff is just racial hatred, nothing better.

Then why delete it? Admit it, you ordered a code red.

These days, yes white males have it so hard. Certainly harder than any other heterosexual group.

You don't know any black women, do you? Who do you think uses the n-word these days?
Why to Hispanics require gender specific adjectives? Latino is gender neutral just like black. African, Caucasian, Irish,. European , Aboriginal, etc.
Comedian and alumnus, are other examples of words where phony gender specific made up words seem to have been invented.
Just stop everyone.
I know many, many black women. I live in Oakland, CA. I'm also black, so that helps, my mother's black, my woman's black, many of my friends are black women... The vast majority of black women do not use the "n-word." Anyone who is familiar with the ways black people actually talk knows this. Now, really poor, uneducated "hood" black women use the term all the time, but the people who use this "n-word" thing you speak of are by and large young black men, middle class, working class and poorer young black men. Black women, not nearly so much.
Racism is the human quality which unites all ethnicities.
In the original Fast and Furious movie, the Latina girl calls Ja Rule that word.
Hispanics don't require gender-specific adjectives. The Spanish language requires gender-specific articles, nouns, and adjectives, no matter what the words represent.
In Spanish, one of two suffixes known as "masculine" (-o) and "feminine" (-a) is typically added to a noun's root, and one of two forms of the article "the," also known as "masculine" (el) and "feminine" (la), is used before the noun. (This is the original and formerly only meaning of the word "gender," by the way, before it became un-PC to use the word "sex" on a form asking whether someone is male or female.)
Sometimes the gender of the noun has nothing to do with any actual male/female distinction: "el ojo" (the eye) and "la ventana" (the window) don't suggest that eyes are male and windows are female. But perhaps unsurprisingly, when the gender suffix is added to a root word that means something like "person," if the person being discussed is specifically male or female, the applicable suffix is used. Hence "la latina" (the Latin woman) and "el latino" (the Latin man).
The easy way to see that there are no "phony gender specific made up words [sic]" being "invented" is to look instead at the Spanish for white people: "la mujer blanca" (the white woman) and "el hombre blanco" (the white man). No catering to special interests involved.
Or, to use a case in which the noun root is modified, "la Americana" (the female American) and "el Americano" (the male American).
The tweets in the HuffPo article don't sound racist. She called a former black boss "bossy". That's not racist.
Are there any actual examples of racist tweets?

Of course this thread gets promoted to the LetsRun_Breitbart homepage
Awesome hot takes, Rojo!!
So now the SNL cast has to have a black, an asian, a white guy (to be the nerd) a hot girl, a guy in a wheelchair, someone blind, someone with a missing limb.....
Why not just cast funny people??
Not necessarily; a Spanish speaker would, of course, be as likely to be a South American (sudamericana, sudamericano) or a Central American (centroamericana, centroamericano) as a North American (norteamericana, norteamericano).
Like Matta99 is saying, it might be possible that it is simply her style of comedy where she's almost making fun of these racist stereotypes by pretending to have them herself. I haven't personally seen her perform, but it is possible to view these tweets under a crude, comedic light where she's actually backhandedly criticizing some of these racist stereotypes by conveying an exaggerated version of them . Obviously in today's PC culture she wouldn't want people digging this stuff up now and taking them out of context so now she's deleting them to avoid the sh*tstorm that would ensue if media and Twitter Warriors dug them up. Now that she got caught doing it though, it looks like she was just trying to hide some secret racist background, when in reality she was just trying to avoid some crude jokes reaching the quick-to-judge masses. Who knows though, there's a good chance she's simply is a racist. However, it's unfair to not consider a possible explanation where you chalk it up to crude comedy, especially when we're dealing with a newly discovered comedian we haven't heard perform before.
