New York Times Hires Racist Writer As Newest Member Of Their Editorial Board

The New York Times’ has hired Sarah Jeong as their newest member of the editorial board and surprise surprise, she has a history of racist tweets against white people.

I know shocking right?

The New York Times announced on Wednesday that they officially hired Sarah Jeong to join their editorial board. Sarah previously worked for the Verge and wrote the book “The Internet of Garbage,” a book about online harassment and free speech.

Not long after the New York Times announced Sarah Jeong’s hiring, Twitter users dug up a lot of old tweets in which she openly expressed her hatred for white people.

“Dumbass f**king white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants,” she tweeted in 2016.

Another tweet reads, “oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get from being cruel to old white men.”

Look, if the New York Times wants to hand over their editorial page to someone who writes like every other brain-dead Wellesley sophomore grievance studies major, that’s their business
