Look at these Sarah Jeong tweets (collected by Arvin Navabi):

Who is Sarah Jeong, this rabid anti-white bigot? Why, she’s the newest member of The New York Times editorial board. The Times hired her knowing that she has this staggering history of public racial hatred, but — get this — they’re saying she was forced to do it by racists:

This is insane. Does anybody believe that a white person who tweeted this way about Asians, blacks, Jews, or gays, would stand a ghost of a chance getting a job at the Times? I believe in repentance, forgiveness, and redemption, but that is not remotely what’s going on here with Sarah Jeong. According to the Times statement, she was not expressing racism, but rather “imitating the rhetoric of her harassers.”

That’s not credible. That is, in fact, embarrassing to the Times, were it capable of being embarrassed. The more reasonable conclusion is that like many on the left, the Times sees nothing disqualifying about racial bigotry, as long as the bigotry is directed towards whites. Jeong is a graduate of Harvard Law. What is it about elite culture that cultivates this kind of racial bigotry in people?

This is actually a big deal. The Times, one of the most important left-liberal institutions, is now giving its effective imprimatur to virulent anti-white bigotry. Of course the Times is not going to say that it’s good, exactly, but as long as one of its writers claims her own bigotry was really the fault of white bigots, she gets a pass.

The Times will no doubt continue to be mystified as to why people vote for Donald Trump, despite it all.

What the Times has done in the Jeong case is basically what Woody Allen’s character does in this scene from Annie Hall:

UPDATE:I agree with Robby Soave: I don’t believe that people should be ruined professionally for bad tweeting. Not even racists like Sarah Jeong. Excerpt:
