Teigen joked that Weiss should simply admit that she was wrong and “take the L.”
Bari with a gold medal winning triple double down! As someone who has had to do this a few times, I’d recommend taking the L here. https://t.co/DmvdvBpG9Z

However, Teigen also explained why these well-intentioned comments can be so regressive.
It’s called perpetual otherism or perpetual foreigner syndrome. No one is ashamed of the word immigrant but it’s tiring being treated as foreigners all the time. You made a mistake. It’s okay. But people are really giving you calm, great insight. Just learn and breathe. All good. https://t.co/DmvdvBpG9Z

While we’re all used to Chrissy throwing shade at people she disagrees with, this interaction is especially noteworthy due to her respectful and insightful comments, which so few people seem to grasp.
I’m not saying that Chrissy deserves her own weekly New York Times column, but I’m not not saying that, either.
