Twitchy’s regular readers know how easily Twitter stalwart @exjon can fly into a conservative/libertarian type rage, so it’s a bit of a Christmas miracle that even he can find reconciliation with the writer of this brief tidbit of Christmas cheer exposing the institutional racism on display in “A Christmas Story.”

Brutally honest analysis like that is going to make it a lot more difficult for sofa-bound racists to enjoy all 24 hours of TBS’ “A Christmas Story” marathon.

Do you need to even ask if SJWs can ruin A Christmas Story? LOL of course they can. “@Matthops82: Peak outrage https://t.co/T6sInVsGBf”

Calm down, folks; white privilege dictates that you can still have your movie.

@ParkerMolloy @mumbly_joe Can I still enjoy the movie and find it funny?

No need to be so mad.

@ParkerMolloy Actually, my friends and I thought it was hilarious. Your stupidity didn't offend us, but your #WhiteStarbucksLatteLogic did
