Hi Tim,

I was appalled to learn that you bullied Asian people when you were 21 years old.

Okay, I’ll let that one slide. After all, we’ve all done some stupid shit in our youth.

I was hoping that now that you’re 36, you’d have learned your lesson. You’ve had another 15 years of life experience to think about your youthful mistakes.

I think you still have some work to do.

I was deeply offended by your casual racism in one of your most recent articles. It took me three days just to calm down enough to write you this open letter.

The first thing I did when I read this sentence was roll my eyes.
