Amanda Bynes' recent Twitter posts have been erratic, to say the least (and that's not taking into account her more-than-erratic in-person behavior). Online, she's butted heads with Perez Hilton, RuPaul, and Rihanna, among others — and her racially charged language and use of gay slurs have former fans turning on her. Why has Bynes decided that calling someone a "faggot" or an "ugly Asian woman" is appropriate?

The tweet has since been deleted, but it was up long enough to draw criticism from RuPaul, who tweeted, "Derogatory slurs are ALWAYS an outward projection of a person's own poisonous self-loathing." Is that why Bynes keeps returning to racial and sexual identity-related attacks on her perceived enemies? The "faggots" tweet is the most overtly hateful, but other recent tweets carry equally bigoted undertones.
Look at her following tweets at Rihanna, which have also been deleted:
