This may be a dead horse at this point, but I would be shocked if any of these posters had the gumption to say these things aloud in a public place. Sure, twitter isn't nearly as anonymous as hubski, 4chan, or an IRC may be, but it's still shouting from behind the veil of an LCD monitor.

I also would be anything but shocked if any of these posters has a close friend of Asian descent, and the poster rationalizs why they aren't included in the blanket of hatred: "He doesn't really look like it." "She's in the Navy." "He doesn't speak the language." "I only meant East Asians" (like @RaymonRahall). And so on and so forth.
