Roseanne is white and insulted someone with African ancestry with an insult that has racial tones.
Seeing how both Roseanne and Valerie Jarrett are women. It might have been more acceptable if Roseanne’s insult surrounded womanhood. Or they both are wealthy. So an insult surrounding money/class may have also been more acceptable.
Society does approve of some insults more than others. Fact.
