She says, and the NYT accepts this, that she was just imitating some racists who trolled her because she's Asian.
The sad commentary on our times is that if she'd written exactly the same things about gays, the transgendered, Muslims, or Blacks she'd have been fired by the NYT before she could blink.
But because she was making racist comments about whites it's ok since she said she's sorry.
I'm all for forgiving people who make mistakes. But I'm also all for the same set of rules for everyone no matter what their political positions are.
But the NYT appears to have a double standard because when Roseanne Barr made one racist joke and then apologized the NYT was all for her being fired. Interestingly in an editorial condemning those who objected to Barr being shown the door for one apologized for mistake the NYT said that Trump's policies are racist, a lie, and that he called some immigrants animals, which was really a lie since it was about illegals not legal immigrants and it was about MS-13 members neither of which the NYT felt obligated to mention.
So we now know that the NYT is comfortable with racism directed at white people.
Keep that in mind when you read anything that comes from the NYT in the future.
