I'm not big on tweets being used as an indicator of the majority. One of my favorite websites always does screen caps of tweets after major events and there are always racist/homophobic/sexist comments depending on the context. The thought that idiots have social media shouldn't be a surprise to anyone but it's still an incredibly small percentage of people.
I didn't really understand the Steubenville rape case. I guess some football players raped a drunk girl but the controversy was people were defending the football players?? I'm not sure, I just saw a lot of reddit outrage about it.
