NYT: New Hire Sarah Jeong ‘Regrets’ Professing Hate for ‘Dumbass F*cking White People’
by Joshua Caplan
Sarah Jeong, a recent hire by the New York Times, is under fire for edgy jokes mocking white people — which puts the Times in a bind, thanks to its set precedent of firing new employees over old, controversial tweets.
The New York Times‘ communications department announced on Wednesday that Jeong will be joining the editorial board as part of a “fab group of recent additions” to the paper’s opinions section in September.

In scores of tweets, Jeong — as an epic ironic troll without any underlying bigotry, of course — denigrates whites and compares them to dogs.

Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants

In another conversation, Jeong riffed on white people being “only fit to live underground like groveling goblins,” which snowballed into a witty rumination on whites smelling like dogs.

Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins

"but i don't smell like dog when it rains!" you might protest. well you wouldn't know, would you

these are inconvenient truths but we should thoroughly examine them instead of giving into the PC lie that white people don't smell bad

@sarahjeong I think you can be racist against white people but it doesn't count as malice
sarah jeong @sarahjeong
@susie_c i mean, there clearly isn't institutional racism, and in many cases, fear of white people doesn't quite amount to racism

Jeong wrote in July 2014: “oh man it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.”
“#CancelWhitePeople,” she declared in November 2014, midway through a thread mocking fans of NPR’s “Serial” podcast. “That must be really hard for you, having feelings about race,” she taunted.

Wow today is full of white people having feelings about race

The Times and Jeong posted statements Thursday at noon expressing “regret” over her history of biting “satire” — but the paper declared she had passed its “thorough vetting process.”

Our statement in response to criticism of the hiring of Sarah Jeong.
12:00 PM - Aug 2, 2018
Jeong escaped the fate of previous Times hires who were swiftly fired over old, controversial tweets.
She will join the Times after a stint at The Verge, the technology news outlet owned by far-left Vox Media. The 30-year-old is the author of The Internet of Garbage, which “examines the many forms of online harassment, free speech, and the challenges of moderating platforms and social media networks.” Jeong was born in South Korea and grew up in California and North Carolina. During her time at Harvard Law School, she edited the Journal of Law & Gender. Her work has appeared in The Washington Post, The New York Times Magazine, The Atlantic and Motherboard.
As Jeong’s posts spread into wider circulation Thursday morning, waves of Blue Checkmarks came to her aid.
