Encyclopedic content must be verifiable. The line "Soon after being hired... was found to have posted a number of... racist messages directed at white people," is not in two important ways. First, it uses the word "found," which suggests a mainstream authority, preferably a scientific one. Second, ThePostOnline is an explicitly right-wing news site, according to wikipedia's [https://nl.wikipedia.org/wiki/ThePostOnline own article on it], and therefore not a reliable source. I suggest one of three courses of action: |

# Add a "needs a better source" tag to the citation. |
|||
# Change the line to something like: "Jeong has been accused of posting a number of messages on social media platform [[Twitter]] that are racist, hateful, violent, and aggressive." |
|||
# Remove the line entirely. [[User:JeanLackE|JeanLackE]] ([[User talk:JeanLackE|talk]]) 13:45, 2 August 2018 (UTC) |
