No, I don't think the baseball player should be fired because 1) he was a high school kid at the time, and 2) he doesn't influence content on a major publication that reflects his bias. He hits and pitches for a living.

Conversely, the anti-white racist should be fired because 1) she was a Harvard-educated adult at the time, and 2) her bias will be reflected in the content used to influence millions of Americans. She writes material for a living.

Take out the racism even. She shouldn't be hired because she creates a hostile work place. Shes published negative things about her peers and said she would fire them. Basic HR 101, shes toxic for the work place and made threats to her now co-workers. Not to mention cheering on her now employer getting sued.

I do not believe that Jeong should be fired from the Times. It is a racist newspaper and her beliefs are consistent with what that paper and the Democrat left value these days.

What this should and I expect will serve to do is help to disable the lynch mob style campaigns of the Democrat left to socially terrorize people that the Democrat left and the Times disagree with or are openly bigoted towards.

For example, Paula Deen was harassed, attacked and socially terrorized to the point of being fired at her position at the cooking channel for previously in her life - many years ago - having uttered the "n-word". No exact quote was provided and certainly nothing recorded or written by her was produced.

Does the using of the "N-word" make someone a racist? If it does, there are tens of millions of people in inner cities around our country who continue to use that term proudly, loudly, frequently and with impunity, even knowing how vile, hateful and otherwise useless that word is.

But that was not what Paula Deen's harassment and ultimate firing was about. It was about much of the Democrat left's open bigotry towards Southern white people. She was a Southern white woman and they socially terrorized her because of that - not because she was being hateful or racist or bigoted, as she clearly does not appear to be any of those things.

Paula Deen is however associated with an identity politics related group that many among the Democrat left openly despise and are actively hostile towards, as they demonstrated here in this episode. They socially terrorized her because so many on the Democrat left are hateful, racist bigots and she was their target in this instance because of that.

Their defense of Susan Joeng is much the same. They are protecting their agenda of hatefulness and incivility, not any righteousness that Joeng represents here, which appears to be precisely none on this topic.

This vile, anti-social behavior must be stopped. The cycle of allowing people to have their careers ruined because their values or views are not "Politically correct" must be stopped. That means now.

So going forward, the acceptance and protection of this woman by the Times and the Democrat left should be used like a rhetorical billy club against anyone trying to socially terrorize people more innocent than Susan Joeng is on this topic, which would certainly included the likes of Paula Deen.

It is time to stop this now. No more.

What’s her beef with Tom Friedman? Weird. I thought he was a woke liberal, but I guess he’s still a white male.

Well that is one angry opinionated millennial now, naming names, even her co-workers. Doesn't even make sense, she is hostile against her own employer.

I agree with you that the vile, anti-social behavior must be stopped, and the character assassination of anyone who dares express a non-liberal opinion must cease, but I'm not optimistic. When the curtain is pulled back on liberals' racism, such as with what happened with the NYT writer, they double down on their venom as they panic that the truth was revealed.

I myself was called an "alt-right racist" for expressing disgust not just with the writer's vile and extreme racist tweets, but with the NYT's attempt to excuse it. The liberal who called me that stuck his snout up in the air and said, "if you want to engage in racist attacks, don't expect me to be part of it" and stormed away. Just consider the degree of derangement with that response.

Well, she did write that in 2013, but I’m surprised it made it through the “vetting process.” She seems like a high risk. I bet she ends up suing them for some reason or other. Or demanding that white editors lose their jobs.

It just means they couldn’t counter it so they ended the conversation by calling you a racist and walking away. There is really no defense.

I think that she is jealous because, whereas there are lots of pretty Asian girls that white men like, she is NOT one of them by a long shot.

Didn't get enough attention in school and whatnot.

Which normally gets you fired but since she's an anti white male racist, she's fine.
