USA Today has fired its “race and inclusion” editor for incorrectly stating on Twitter that it was an “angry white man” who opened fire and killed 10 people at a supermarket in Boulder, Colorado.
“It’s always an angry white man. always,” Hemal Jhaveri wrote in her March 22 post, not long after the tragedy. The assertion was made in response to a post from Deadspin writer Emily Julia DiCaro, who wrote in the immediate aftermath of shootings at three massage parlors in the Atlanta area that she was “extremely tired of people’s lives depending on whether a white man with an AR-15 is having a good day or not.”
