Completely different approach to how the New York Times handled Sarah Jeong, and her racist comments. Hmmmm!
We all know the game now. This everything is racist is a political tool far more than any real effort to make people better. So there's no need for us to ask why they aren't consistent with their own making the same transgressions.
No one really wants to live in this world, but if the left can destroy their enemy with it, they'll use it even if it kills them.

The frick did he actually say, and in what exact context? Did thE New York Times (A Former Newspaper) actually divulge that info?
I don’t have a link but read earlier that the context wasn’t racist. He was a chaperone of some sort on a HS trip to Ecuador. He was asked if a girl on the trip should be suspended/expelled for using the verboten word in a video when she was 12. He asked how the word was used - for context. He used the word when asking. Apparently some parents later complained.
It’s bananas.

There is NOTHING wrong with using these horrifying two syllables in this context.

If the HR person at the NYT documents the incident and writes the word in their disciplinary report, do they get fired?

That’s what’s so funny about it. 99.99% chance he votes for the clowns that endorse cancel culture.

So how did they even find out about it? Not that it should matter

I love it when the left eats its own.

That is asinine.

This reminds me of the incident where someone at Netflix was in a meeting and, IIRC, suggested that the word "reta**" should be as taboo as the forbidden racial term.
He was fired because he actually said the R word in that context - so I guess it turns out they REALLY agreed with his suggestion.

You hate to see it

So did he say the N word or something else? If simply uttering the word, regardless of context, is enough to lose a career then why is Bill Maher still on HBO?
Posted on 2/6/21 at 4:35 pm to L.A.
Hmmmm. If it's the word I'm thinking it is then I heard it about 30 times last night at work.
Anyone want to guess who was saying it?

We've seen so many instances where saying the word, while saying the word is bad, is a fire-worthy offense, it boggles the imagination.
So, just how do we handle this radioactive word if we can't even bring it up?
