Let's just say that Sarah Jeoung, the latest hire to the New York Times, has a racist past.
Garbage Human, a parody account on Twitter, shared the following:

Her Twitter feed is lined with such hate:
Dumbass fucking white people marking up the internet with their opinions like dogs pissing on fire hydrants— sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) November 29, 2014
And it wasn't an isolated tweet.
Check out the other hate below:
oh man it's kind of sick how much joy I get out of being cruel to old white men— sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) July 24, 2014
1) white men are bullshit
2) no one cares about women
3) you can threaten anyone on the internet except cops— sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) January 1, 2015

Before we go to bed: remember Mike Brown was wrongfully murdered in broad daylight. It all starts there. Fuck these racialized distractions.— sarah jeong (@sarahjeong) August 16, 2014
Wrong. The police reports, the grand jury testimony from the Ferguson, Missouri shooting all established that Brown was a thug who had robbed a convenience store, then rushed at a police officer, who had every right to shoot him to defend himself.
This woman is a full-on illicit hack. How can the New York Times consider this person. Putting aside her record of racist rhetoric, the fact that she ran with such a blatant lie, that only should have disqualified her from any high-profile journalism career.
Of course, we are talking about the New York Times, where they print "All the News that Fits Their Narrative."
Instead of reassessing their decision to hire this hateful … (fill in blank here), the New York Times issued a very tired, unbelievable press release to cover their a..actions:
covering the internet and technology at a range of respected publications.
her a subject of frequent online harassment. For a period of time she responded
to that harassment by imitating the rhetoric of her harassers. She sees now
that this approach only served to feed the vitriol that we too often see on
social media. She regrets it, and The Times does not condone it.
Really? Jeong issued her tweets on their own, not in response or in parody to online attacks which she had endured.
She wants to play victim, all the while victimizing white people.
We had candid conversations with Sarah as part of our thorough vetting
process, which included a review of her social media history. She understands
that this type of rhetoric is not acceptable at The Times and we are confident
that she will be an important voice for the editorial board moving forward.
The New York Times claimed that they had "candid conversations" with their new star editor. They probably should have written "canned," since no one takes the corrupt New York Times seriously.
As expected, Jeong spliced out private messages directed at her and played victim:
![""]("https://www.nytco.com/wp-content/uploads/sites/3/Screen-Shot-2018-08-02-at-12.11.15-PM.png")
These comments were responses to her hate.
They are vile.
But she can't argue that she was merely "responding."

Furthermore, her anti-white racist comments were directed at all white people. She could have targeted her smarmy retorts at those individuals and left it at that.
On top of that, she demonstrated a disturbing lack of maturity in her social media profile four years ago, and continued to do so. Such a lack of judgment should give any publishing house pause.
