The most "transphobic" thing Ana Kasparian has said is that puberty blockers aren't fully reversible, which is true. The most "anti-black" thing she's said is that the civil rights movement was effective because it was mostly non-violent. The people attacking her are insane.

This is the most racist depiction of Arabs I've seen on modern television. A group of Arabs "is planning the next intifada", but that doesn't stop Larry David from sexualizing the woman. Then he calls her an antisemite. Absolutely unhinged.
