Sarah Jeong at NYT: or how to smear someone for no reason

[Snowfunk]

So, some special snowflake got their feelings hurt on the internet again.

More news at 10.

[Lorgar Aurelian]

If one can dish it out, one gets to take it too.

That has litteraly no baring on rather something is racist or not.

The Times responds by saying she was imitating her trolls in those tweets, and that she received harassment because she was an asian woman. If she had said any of those things about any other race of people, she would have been kicked out the door faster than she could come up with an excuse.

lol, "imitating her trolls" repeatedly over a 2 year period, yeah sure...

[Saucexorzski]

Looks like National Review needs to look up what racism means, because they most definitely don't get it. They're depicting a talented journalist as something she is not, and this is sickening!

Oh, I didnt realise I could say stuff like this and get away with not being called a racist scum. Would have to remember that going forward.

Please keep ignoring context.

I'm just citing the reason why she didn't act this way towards other races. You make what you will of it.

Yeah, she's only racist in self defense. A racist attack is a totally acceptable reason to respond with genocide.

Whoa whoa whoa, ok ok...

"one's own superiority based on ethnicity"

vs

"prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism directed against someone of a different race based on the belief that one's own race is superior"

Litterally the exact same thing, said with more words.

Looks like you didn't even read the whole thing.

"the belief that all members of each race possess characteristics, abilities, or qualities specific to that race, especially so as to distinguish it as inferior or superior to another race or races."

It's not about acting superior like a nazi. Racism is just as much about saying Asians drive bad as it is to say Asians are good at math. Both are racism.
I'm not disagreeing with you, I'm adding to what you said by clarifying that the definition is broader than what you stated. There's no need for the hostility.

[Jonnusthegreat]

True but jack only listed saying your own race is better if I say black Poeple are inferior to white people I am still being racist rather i my self am black or not.

But if you say <insert race here> are the master race you are also fully racist. Superiority implies inferiority.

[Deldavala]

Please keep ignoring context.

What context? The fact that she is an Korean-American? If so I am an Korean-Norwegian

[Lorgar Aurelian]

Ya but you can be racist without doing that which is the point.

[Jonnusthegreat]

You have no point - the guy said believing one race is superior to another is racism. That is a full definition of racism. If you say black people are inferior, that is satisfied by the definition.

If I went on twitter and starts throwing slurs around ironically I’m pretty sure I’d be met with the same reaction.

Exactly, And that's what they all did to her before she snapped. And now people are complaining because she did snap.

Nice case of victim-blaming, if anything.

So if she snapped and murdered someone, she is the victim for snapping? Wow, nice logic, lets make a legal system based on that!

There was no murder case here. False equivalence. Try again.
