Forums - Politics - NYT defends their new editor accused of racism - "an important voice"

That's really not racost.

If I would replace black with white, would it be racist than. If so its also racist if you apply the same statements to white people. At the very least its very discriminating. Personally I don't care if she gets fired or not though I doubt I could take her articles seriously. As she said she likes to torment white elderly people. 



Please excuse my (probally) poor grammar

The "you can't be racist against white people" brainwashing initiative is kind of funny to watch. It's a pretty obvious attempt at deflection. People focus on the term, as if that's the most important thing in the world, in order to pull attention away from bigotry and prejudice that they find acceptable.

Person A makes a nasty and vicious remark about Person B. Person B uses the word "racism". Person C, who is on Person A's side politically, acts like the issue here is that a word got used in the wrong way rather than Person A being a bigot. Classic.

That being said, "reverse racism" makes no sense. Kind of like absurdity of using "counter trolling" as an excuse for trolling.



The funniest part of this? This woman has published numerous tweets bashing the New York Times.







And she has other tweets where she rips into specific columnists by name. If I was Thomas Friedman I'd be very worried about my job right now.

That definition doesn't even hold up by their own standards

What the actual fuck... It really is happening isn't it. White people are the new people in line for oppression and will at some point have to stand up for their  rights, repeating history. These people aren't for equality, they are for segregation and racist their core... how can they not see that they are creating not only an enemy for themselves but also future pain and strife for all peoples no matter the skin colour. This is going to turn out really badly down the line.  

And these are the same people who would cry racism because someone simply listed statistics that didn't paint any minority group in a favorable light.

Jesus people are just throwing around the word racism so casually. Everyone have a different opinion of the definition what racism is, and people need to stop calling other people racists, it's a very cruel word to call someone. The odds that this woman is a racist is basically 0%.

Usually it was mostly just leftist and hippies using the word and now right-wingers joining too, why? Stop being a bunch of babies.

And seeing trump-supporters here and on twitter calling her a racist is hilarious, it's like wtf????

This. Someone might find something racist ehile b others actually take it into context and understood that it's a joke.

You clearly do not understand what context means, especially after I asked you to provide context multiple times to prove your assertion that Jeong's tweets were indeed jokes. "Taking it into context" means that you actually did your due diligence investigating every single one of her tweets and reply chain. It is obvious that you have not done this based on your ad nauseaum assertions and you taking the easy way out by piggy-backing off of another person's comment that only contains bunch of assertions plus an ad hominem.

Referencing a tweet of hers 2 years after her most recent "joke" claiming that her tweets disparaging white people were just jokes is not evidence. This is especially true when those so-called jokes spanned from 2013 through 2016. For something to recur for that long of a timeframe, it is absolutely reasonable to be skeptical of the claim (whether it is you or Jeong making it) that all of those tweets were mere jokes. Not to mention, if you go through all of them, a bunch of them were unprovoked and not in response to another person. As a result, the notion that Jeong was counter-trolling is only partially true.

So what is your counter-evidence?

I knew that the NYT were worth nothing but scorn for their double standards and obvious political agenda so this just reinforces my position of disregarding them entirely whenever they are brought as a reliable source. If she spoke about any other race and were white or the double whammy of "privilege": a white male, she would've been crucified by now. Not only would she have been immediately fired, but she wouldn't get a job anywhere near the entertainment or news industry, ever.

Nothing funnier than the "white guilty". They will let someone that hated they in just to show how inclusive they are, and will defend what she done because she is a better person now.

Never seem any of these white guilty people ask to be fired and replaced by someone of color. They just want others to "check their privileges"

well duh, the thing that unifies the left is hatred, they are a hate group, just like any other. the nyt is no different from a hate group, along with any of the MSM outlets.
