Sarah Jeong Is A Warning Sign Of Something Wrong With The Left
2018-08-04
[Hot Air] The more I think about it, the less I care about Sarah Jeong. I don’t think I’d ever read anything she’d written before this week and having now read a few things I don’t think I was missing all that much. That’s not meant as a slam on her ability because I think she’s actually a good writer. But the subject she writes about isn’t that interesting to me. She styles herself an expert on technology, which doesn’t mean she can rebuild a V-8 engine or repair a circuit board. In media parlance, it means she has opinions about social media. So...whatever.

I don’t even care very much about her racist tweets, per se, or even her lame excuse for making them. What does bother me is the way in which the left collectively responded to her tweets with a big shrug. Ed wrote earlier about the Washington Post piece which wonders aloud whether Jeong did anything wrong. I read the same piece this morning and this is the paragraph that stood out:

#12  Obama was the bestest Harvard Law Review president ever, and Fauxcahontis is being maligned.

#11  If the net can be believed, at Harvard she was editor of the Harvard Journal of Law and Gender. If I can trust alumnius, she got a BA in Philosophy at Berkeley. I will draw my own conclusions about the philosophy dept at Berkeley.

#10  When I look for "tech writing" I'm generally not looking for a breezy article about how kewel the latest iPhone is...

#9  Leaving aside the hypocrisy and ignorance for a moment, it is amusing that the anti-white Ms Jeong makes a living as a tech writer writing about the White Man's technology in English, the White Man's planetary language. And using the White Man's Internet to do so. What, did you think the interwebs were invented in Zimbabwe?

#8  This wasn't written by allahpundit. It was written by John Sexton. Not that you could tell the difference, I don't think the place has gotten a political opinion right since... oh 2014 at least.

#7  The news here is Allahpundit criticizing the left.

Someone still reads that?

#6  Another impoverished Harvard graduate 'out of the closet.' Nothing much to be seen here.

#5  To me, it shows something wrong with the Right - letting the left get away with it.

Plenty of people "on the right" get what is wrong with it. Not-particularly-right scribblers at Notional Review, Deadstate and so on don't get it as all, because they want the same rulez for themselves, and they hate white people (other than mom, dad and the Boss) too.

Cause for the Left, its all about power. Understand that, and there is no need to be fretting over their hypocrisy. They have no shame. Never will. They only exist to install fear and loathing in the rest to keep them submissive.
