Title: Another angle on the NYT's new racist writer
Post by: Perd Hapley on August 10, 2018, 02:07:12 PM
I don't think we have a Sarah Jeong thread, yet. I guess that's how normal anti-white racism has become. It's just expected.

This article/diatribe/rant is not the most succinct, but it does shed new light on the subject. It's mostly the second half that talks about Jeong.

https://medium.com/@therealsexycyborg/shenzhen-tech-girl-naomi-wu-my-experience-with-sarah-jeong-jason-koebler-and-vice-magazine-3f4a32fda9b5

The gist of all the she-said/she-said is that this Chinese tech vlogger accuses Vice of outing her as (I presume) a lesbian, despite assurances they would not. Love does not win in China, apparently. Controversy ensues. Then Sarah Jeong enlists to help smooth over the issue. Allegedly, she misled Vice's Western audience, throwing a homosexual Asian woman under the bus. Or the tank, it being China.

If the story is true, it fits with the leftist worldview perfectly:

This poor little rube, I know what's best for her and her fears and concerns are not really worth paying attention to, because, once again, I am here to help her and know what's best. And, besides, even IF she does suffer some consequences, it's for the greater good. Some other, future Chinese lesbians will be better off once we ruin this one.

I've been following this for a bit, as I would occasionally watch her YouTube channel.

The Medium article is a pretty good representation of what happened.  Vice didn't see an issue with what they wanted to publish, and basically, after the visit, told here she could comment or not, but they were going to mention it to be complete.  Vice were arrogant aholes.

Sarah Jeong was a vindictive weapon.  She's an American, claiming understanding she does not have of a culture she is not a pert of to make money.  As such she can't afford to let her advice to her white friends be proven mistaken.  

FWIW, Vice didn't out her as a Lesbian, they outed her as (maybe) married. The Reddit theory they allude to is that she's married to a white guy in tech that helps her out.
