R48, type in "all white people are racist" and you will see what's been happening to WORKING CLASS white people. All of our problems can be reduced to the 1% elites who are afraid of the 99%. They use all of the isms and phobias as a divide and conquer strategy to silence white working class people into submission so that they accept slave labor from mega monopolies like Apple.
Sarah Jeong is a great example of this. She is a a part of the top 10% of the US, attended one of the most prestigious universities in the world and got a job as an editor at one of the most celebrated newspapers worldwide. This is what the elites think of ALL white people who make less money than them. Her twitter was filled with highly racist, bigoted, nasty language toward the white race.
'Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants
Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically only being fit to live underground like groveling goblins?
Oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get being cruel to old white men
Every time I see a bald white kid, I secretly hope he has leukemia and do my little private "end zone" dance.'
When she was called out, this was NYT's response:
"We hired Sarah Jeong because of the exceptional work she has done covering the internet and technology at a range of respected publications.
Her journalism and the fact that she is a young Asian woman have made her a subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time she responded to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers. She sees now that this approach only served to feed the vitriol that we too often see on social media. She regrets it, and The Times does not condone it.
We had candid conversations with Sarah as part of our thorough vetting process, which included a review of her social media history. She understands that this type of rhetoric is not acceptable at The Times and we are confident that she will be an important voice for the editorial board moving forward."
So they REVIEWED her social media, read the tweets, and hired her. What does that about what the NYT thinks of the white race?
Jeong also issued her own statement, characterizing the Tweets as "satire" and, at times, "counter-trolling" that was intended not for a general audience. She explained, "As a woman of color on the internet, I have faced torrents of online hate, often along this vein," and offered these Tweets as evidence:
"I engaged in what I thought of at the time of counter-trolling. While it was intended as satire, I deeply regret that I mimicked the language of my harassers. These comments were not aimed at a general audience, because general audiences do not engage in harassment campaigns. I can understand how hurtful these posts are out of context, and would not do it again."
That's interesting. Her racist tweets were not in reply to anyone else on the platform, they were simply tweets she posted on her page. Who was she talking to? Herself.
