Too many to even count.

Google Sarah Jeong + NYT.

Weird why is that getting flagged/downvoted? Isn't that a legitimate topic of discussion? It should be possible to at least point out the facts of what happened.

She wrote some tweets in the past that some people interpreted as racist against white people, nyt responded by arguing that it was just a reflection of the hateful rhetoric she received as an asian person.

Is it a legitimate topic for discussion though?

If you can become president after calling Mexicans criminal rapists, I think you should be allowed to be a journalist after those tweets, especially when you’ve expressed regret and remorse for posting them.

People really should uninstall twitter though. I mean, I’ve never written things that were racist, but I’m really happy there isn’t a permanent record of everything I’ve ever posted online.

What I do find interesting is why the same people who are angry that Alex Jones got banned seem to want her fired. And I guess you can say exactly the same about the people who want Trump banned from twitter, but are fine with these tweets.

Over all America seems like such a circus these days.

Trump shouldn't have been President, and Jeong shouldn't have been hired. Two wrongs don't make a right.

Thanks for the tip. Shame on them.
