Roseanne fired but Sarah Jeong hired?

splashuum

I find it incredible that main stream media can pick and choose who and what they define as racist.
Sarah Jeong has just been hired by the New York Times despite her clear hatred against white people. What is even more astounding is that the NYT have doubled down on Jeong after seeing her tweets. They have now publicly declared a vote of confidence in her.

If the Democrats and media focused on Trumps policies instead of their hysterical meltdowns and "muh Russian Hackers" bollox they'd handily defeat him at the next election.

But no, more hysteria is needed. Twats.

Is this going to be a thread where lots of people who have never even heard of Sarah Jeong before are going be outraged because she got a job in a paper they don't read?

I’ve lived in the US and have read the NYT. I used to have a sub. Even after I left I kept an internet sub. It’s a fairly world famous newspaper although it’s definitely overrated.

Why would it matter if we never heard of Jeong before?

Listen, I've argued that the Irish were enslaved for 800 years under the yoke of colonialism.

Ah we weren't really though. Things weren't always so bad under the Brits & don't forget that our 1916 heros were at the time considered criminals and vandals, by the Irish people themselves, till they were executed

Apart from the genocide that was the famine most Irish were content with their lot

Better, it's white working class. They may even go as far as to say 'no, not working class. all white people' as a defense.

That’s a whole rewrite of history. Happy with their lot under the penal laws?

When I mentioned slavery before i was thinking way back in time to vikings and before. Celts were major victims of roman slavery too, although they often sold each other into slavery.

Ethnic Irish people are white skinned. So are jews. Scots etc. European immigrants.

Might start a feedback thread on this anti Irish, anti Celtic, anti Semitic anti immigrant phrase.

Where did it come from? Which white people does it specifically target? Jews? Poles? Irish? Romanians? Or what?

It certainly didn’t originate here in Ireland which is a good reason why Irish people should worry about ideologies generated at the centre of the Empire and the employees at it’s “paper of record”

It's absolutely laughable. It's some of the most racist tweets you will see and yet she isn't fired. It's basically if you are white, you are fair game, be as racist towards white people as much as you want but if it's the other way, it's instantly fired and vilified.

I really don't care if she's sacked or not and won't be kicking up a storm. But just imagine the reaction if this had been the other way around. Are people like her so thick that they don't think sharing remarks like that will come back to bite them?

The usual posters like the one who claims its just people getting worked up about nothing over this, would be foaming at the mouth if white was replaced with any other race in those tweets.

Sure if they didn't have double standards, they'd have none at all

Never heard of her and until today, don’t really care what she thinks. Am I allowed to agree that it’s double standards or does that make me offended by default?

I take then that if the word white were replaced by black or Syrian or traveller and the comments posted here you'd react in the same way should anyone take issue with it?

Maybe she should be a little bit more grateful after the white people liberated Korea from Japan after WW2 and fought the North Koreans in the 50s.

Ah here.

Presume you've no problem with what she tweeted so?

"Perpetually offended"? Deary me. It must be very hard for you to live with so much bitterness and impotent rage.

If your posts weren't so palpably sour and full of hate I'd almost feel sorry for you.

Well according to Vox, the tweets are 6 years old, she was just being sarcastic in her tweets using the language of the alt-right against them and she is a celebrated feminist tech journalist so this is all a storm in a teacup.

The fact that she writes a column in Voxs sister site has no bearing on their defence of her.

At all......

Trying to justify her racist remarks by saying she was reacting to harassment is clear BS. There's a clear pattern of racist and sexist behavior

Racist against white people? Sexist against men?

Those are the worst kinds of racism and sexism.
