A Sad But True Story

Two women, both writers, were recently hired by a leading newspaper on the same day. Soon after, old tweets posted by the women years ago resurfaced.

One of the women, who is white, had posted anti-gay and anti-black comments, using the word "nigger." The other woman, of Asian descent, had posted a series of anti-white rants, likening whites to smelly dogs, saying that old white men make her sick, and more like that.

The white woman (Quinn Norton) was fired seven hours after her tweets were discovered by her new employer, The New York Times. The Asian woman (Sarah Jeong) is currently being celebrated as a "brilliant satirist" by her new employer, The New York Times.
