Sarah Jeong claims she was 'counter-trolling' though most people would be fired or socially and professionally ostracized for their publicly racist tweets.
https://nypost.com/2018/08/02/new-york- ... st-tweets/Jeong, a South Korean native, tweeted in November 2014: “Dumbass f–king white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants.”
In another tweet she asks, “Are white people genetically predisposed to burn faster in the sun, thus logically being only fit to live underground like groveling goblins.”
In a third tweet, Jeong wrote: “Oh man, it’s kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men.”
Some took to Twitter to wonder if the Times ever bothered to check her social media background before hiring her.
The Times on Thursday insisted it was aware of the remarks and is standing by her and insisted her comments were reactions to vicious online bashing attacking her background.
