Is 'racial overtones' a joke? She published more than ten tweets with screeching hatred of White people and applauded the potential extinction of white people.
Semi-protected edit request on 2 August 2018
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 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.
