Justine Sacco, the director of corporate communications for the powerful media and Internet company IAC, finds herself being criticized for a tweet she sent out this morning.

“Going to Africa,” it reads. “Hope I don’t get AIDS. Just kidding. I’m white!” Here is an image of the tweet in question:



Some people shouldn't tweet.

6. So, is the "just kidding" supposed to negate her ignorance and insensitivity?

She's a real class act.

Just like "It's a joke! You can't get mad at what I said!"

9. She seems to think "just kidding" is a get out of jail free card for bigotry...

I guess she thinks its like adding "bless her heart" at the end of an insult.

12. I can say any crude, rude or racist thing as long as I say 'just kidding!'.

It also helps to be cute and giggle while you say it.
