the entire starting point of this discussion is whether ellen was bullying her.
no, it's not. the OP interpretation of the facts don't really change the facts: clips of racist jokes went viral and people were offended over it, not necessarily over how vergara felt but about the overt racism. as someone politely explained to u (and u were rude as fuck to them), the target of a racist joke being fine with it does not make the joke any less racist.

i don't see any harmful jokes.
no one fucking cares if you see it or not though? plenty of latinos who have their accents mocked see it as harmful. making "lol can't understand anything u say because u have an accent" jokes is harmful. joking someone with a heavy latino accent "can't speak english is harmful". your own personal feeling over those things being harmful or not are irrelevant.

if i had a dime for every time a non immigrant person took offense on my behalf and tried to tell me how i should act or react, i'd be sitting on a mountain of dimes.
cool. ppl aren't telling sofia should act or react differently. ppl are saying ellen's jokes are racist. which they are. those are two separate things.

and nice attempt to win the argument by calling me a racist.
lmao, poor you

It’s not my interpretation, there were articles about how Ellen was mean to Sofía and how people felt bad for her.
