The New York Times recently announced their hiring tech writer Sarah Jean to their editorial board.

This means that she will help shape the voice and the opinion of the New York Times on issues related to technology.

Following this, a controversy emerged after people unearthed old tweets that are very anti-white.

Several articles have emerged accusing her of making racist posts,

and there's even an editing war happening on her Wikipedia page where people are trying to determine whether or not she's racist,

or just racially insensitive, and what racist even means.

Among the left and the right, there is a differing opinion as to what the word racist means.

So what exactly did Sarah Jean say? Is it as bad as everyone thinks?

And is what she said actually racist?

I'm not as first. The New York Times announced Sarah Jean joins the Times Editorial Board.

What would it be like if we all deleted Facebook?

What does the future of online privacy look like? Why can't the tech industry diversify?

Are monkeys allowed to sue over copyrights? And what in the world is cockygate?

To answer questions like these, the editorial board will soon be turning to Sarah Jean,

who will join us in September as our lead writer on technology.

Sarah will also collaborate with Susan Fowler-Rigetti, our incoming tech op-ed editor,

and Cara Swisher, our latest contributor on tech issues.
