Sarah Jeong and The NY Times

A lot of damage control on this one from the usual suspects

of course, it's not just the racism that makes Sarah a terrible journalist. She also has a history of denying reality for a story if it fits her worldview.

CAN SOMEONE PLEASE ADMIT THIS HAS GONE TOO FAR???

It's a kind of collectivist thinking that will always see "treat people as individuals" as code for something. People who will support racism if it's the right racism, support sexism if it's the right sexism, and disregard objections as "playing the victim."

It's the New York Times. "World Ends Tomorrow: Minorities, Women Hardest Hit."

I am shocked, shocked to discover that this is based on tweets taken out of context and used by the right to get a journalist they don't like fired from her job.

If you flipped races and sexes, would you still be saying the same thing?

That's a classic case of whataboutery. Her tweets have been taken out of context in order to get dismissed from her job.

I don't think the current standards of left media witch hunts allow her to have a job at the Times.

I know Fox News had to cut to commercial because their guest couldn't stop making racist jokes about her. That was my introduction to the whole bit, and frankly, that's really all I need to know as a normal person who doesn't own stock in the NYT.
