Expressing concern for a missing animal in a local post is not the same as spreading false rumours with racism. I'd want to see her post before judging. I also respect her talking to the media about regret and misuse of it.
Her post is incredibly racist hearsay from 3 people removed (her neighbor's daughter's friend). It describes a vile act that casts fault on 20k people in her local community.
Shes expressing remorse because she did something vile and racist and now has everyone in the world looking at her and her actions.
She doesn't have anything to gain like Trump/Vance, so shes afraid she will have consequences in her life now that her racism and hate is so public. After the multiple days of bomb threats that have cleared local schools and city Hall, the fear has set in.
That's it. She didn't apologize out of a sense of decency or remorse. Her apology is:
"Well I'm biracial and gay, so I can't be racist."
"I also didn't realize this hate would go national, and now that the world is attacking these people and might attack me, I realize what I did was wrong."
"I'm so scared what I did will affect me, please don't let it."
That's not remorse. That's someone running from the ugly thing they did, hoping to escape any consequence.
Agreed.
This sounds more like "sorry I got caught" than "I acknowledge it was wrong to have thought or said that".
Yeah, that appears pretty racially motivated. Still, the article dances around it, so I wouldn't be surprised if it was clickbait. I assume that is her post?
The story about neighbours daughters friend just reads as plausible deniabikity to post horrid stuff. She had to type all this out purposefully. Its not a retweet ir share or a sentence. Its a narrative shes creating.
