Even before social media empowered the masses to easily shout down those they disagreed with, the now-common behavior of reacting with outrage before fully understanding an issue has been ruining people's careers.
Take Gary Soto, the talented and underappreciated Mexican-American author and poet who should be one of those beloved-by-their community artists who serve as unofficial ambassadors of Hispanic Heritage Month.

Well, not unless they want to be portrayed as traitors.
