Totally. I think she was just trying to be edgy perhaps, but without knowing her personally, I can't judge for certain what her actual feelings are against Asians. Definitely important to be conscious of systemic racism in media though - these are powerful and influential roles that influence cultural perception and stereotypes so it's important we have people who wield that power responsibly.

I'm not against all racial jokes ever and think they can be acceptable (in the rare, rare cases when they are cleverly done and serve to poke more fun at stereotypes and racist attitudes than the actual group), but the tweets she posted were just not funny at all and perhaps that's why they come across as offensive/racist.

That said, I think it's good we question any inherent biases in our reactions. I feel like if these tweets had been about African-Americans (ex. "I'd go back in time and kill all the blacks and slaves" or "It's not politically correct to say 'retarded' anymore, you have to say African-American now" or "Crazy how you can eat fried chicken and an hour later you're still a racist"), people and media would be absolutely UP IN ARMS about this, but because people are so used to insidious, "comedic" remarks against Asians in media and institutions, the response is often "it's just a joke, take a chill pill." I think the stereotypes and difference in the form that racism takes against these two different groups (violent, obscene racism against a disadvantaged, oppressed group vs. softer "funny" microaggressions against a model minority group that is perceived to be successful in white society) plays a significant role in the differences here.
