Bari Weiss' resignation a sign of narrowing views at New York Times
Once known as the 'Gray Lady,' the Times now looks more like a middle school run by the 'Mean Girls' crowd while top editors cower in their offices.

Bari Weiss was too honest for The New York Times
A narrowing of the American mind, on the left and right, is making everyone dumber and nastier.

It was during the Olympics, in February of 2018. An American skater named Mirai Nagasu became the first female American to land a triple axel at the Olympics. Weiss tweeted an image of her whirling body and jauntily retweeted an NBC Sports tweet: “‘HOLY COW!’ You just witnessed a historic triple axel from Mirai Nagasu. #WinterOlympics.” Weiss added a line from “Hamilton,” the musical, “Immigrants: They get the job done.”
Landmine. Her colleagues at the Times were outraged. It turns out that Nagasu is not an immigrant herself but is the daughter of two immigrants from Japan. When someone responded with “she was born in California,” Weiss tweeted “Yes, yes, I realize. Felt the poetic license was kosher.”
It wasn’t. At least not according to the many indignant Times staffers who aired their dissatisfaction on the paper’s Slack channel. Weiss was labeled a racist for “othering” Nagasu
日系スケーターの話がからんでいるんだね。
こういう細かいことでぎゃあぎゃあやらないで、米軍性奴隷問題というでかい問題に取り組まないほうがおかしいぞ、NYTは。
