In her recent tweets, Alvarez advised everyone to stop calling out a person “without fully understanding the context of what they’re saying.”
She said, “If you don’t understand what someone is saying and you react and call them names, without fully understanding the context of what they’re saying, what does that make you? It doesn’t make you any better than anyone else. What does that make you as a person?..(cont..)”
