‘New Yorker’ Under Fire Over Racist, Antisemitic Tweets From Woke Staff Writer
“…the tolerability of racism is linked to how its acted out on brown bodies. The holocaust was not tolerable bc of white victims so it ended.”
The media/left-wing hysteria over movie star Sydney Sweeney’s ad for American Eagle was straight out of the Twilight Zone.
I mean, who would have thought a simple commercial about jeans featuring an unapologetically curvy woman that reminded you of those Calvin Klein ads featuring actress Brooke Shields from the 1980s would have sparked a backlash centered around wokeness and anti-white racism?
Well, it indeed happened, as Legal Insurrection‘s own Leslie Eastman explained at the time:
Unfortunately, the woke and those who bitterly cling to “body positivity” and victimhood are incredibly unhappy. The elite media refers to the ads as “controversial” as they promote the hysterical and nonsensical takes on the AE campaign. But I have to say the anti-white race hate in the remarks published in the reports about this “nontroversy” is positively chilling.
“Maybe I’m too f***ing woke. But getting a blue-eyed, blonde, white woman and focusing your campaign around her having perfect genetics feels weird,” one wrote on X.
“I like Sydney Sweeney and American Eagle as much as the next guy but ‘we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children’ is a crazy tagline for selling jeans,” another tweeted.
Here’s an example of what last month’s media noise machine around the ad looked like:

The New Yorker was one of the leftist publications that got in on the act, publishing a write-up by staff writer Doreen St. Félix, who tried to explain why the American Eagle jeans campaign had so fired up the perpetually outraged on the left:
The allusion is incoherent, unless, of course, we root around for other meanings, and we don’t have to search for long: genes, referring to Sweeney’s famously large breasts; genes, referring to her whiteness. (American Eagle has said that the campaign “is and always was about the jeans.”) Interestingly, breasts, and the desire for them, are stereotyped as objects of white desire, as opposed to, say, the Black man’s hunger for ass. Sweeney, on the precipice of totalizing fame, has an adoring legion, the most extreme of whom want to recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess. To them, she signals, as my colleague Lauren Michele Jackson wrote, a “rejoicing in a perceived return to a bygone beauty standard in the wake of all that overzealous feminism they blame on the left.”
A lot of people don’t like the ad campaign, and there are plenty of reasons not to: there’s no irony or camp to leaven the trashy, dog-whistle atmosphere.

It appears, however, that St. Félix was projecting her own racism onto others if one considers tweets she wrote in the past, where the anti-white hate and antisemitism were pretty strong:
In one tweet targeting white men dated in December 2014, St. Felix wrote: “You all are the worst. Go nurse your f–king Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women.”
Another simply said: “I hate white men.”
The resurfaced messages revealed a pattern of racially charged commentary spanning multiple years.
In one post, St. Felix admitted she “writes like no white is watching.”
Another declared that she “would be heartbroken if I had kids with a white guy.”
[…]
In one tweet, she described what she called “the holocaust gesture,” writing that “it’s tricknological, when white people invoke the holocaust” because it “allows them to step out of their whiteness and slip on fake oppression.”
[…]
In another post, she claimed “the tolerability of racism is linked to how its acted out on brown bodies. The holocaust was not tolerable bc of white victims so it ended.”
Though St. Félix has since deleted her X account, the Internet is forever:
The scandal here isn't that a New Yorker writer is an anti-White racist. We know that this is the norm in elite institutions.
The scandal here she could just casually tweet about it endlessly with no fear of consequences, because for years, there were no consequences. pic.twitter.com/9nmoPWh3AM

The New Yorker's anti-white hatred scandal is starting to spin out of control. Daily Mail, New York Post, Breitbart, and more to come. Tick tock, @NewYorker. pic.twitter.com/HOEOhxDMn8

There are a lot of writers at The New Yorker who work with a colleague who openly hates them, minimizes the Holocaust, and believes they are genetically evil people responsible for lice, syphilis, and the destruction of the planet.
And they're all silent. This is "anti-racism."

All of that said, some implied that it was hard to decide which was worse – St. Félix’s racism and antisemitism or that such low-quality writing appeared on the pages of The New Yorker?
More than anything, it’s the banality of these articles that bothers me.
No real thought. No real insight. Nothing that makes you say, “huh. That’s interesting/new.”
Just slop that could have been produced by AI fed the proper prompt and buzzwords. https://t.co/nnNJlbrTlM

It’s a dumb article, sure, but also embarrassingly badly written. The New Yorker used to be legendary for the quality of its writers’ prose. William Shawn is spinning in his grave. Inconceivable. https://t.co/OS650ZPzhV

It must really suck living your life with your entire sense of self-worth defined by the color of your skin.
Actually, I suspect it’s deeper than that. I suspect that people obsessed with immutable physical characteristics suffer from deep-seated insecurities. I suspect that their focus on skin color, race, ethnicity, etc are just a defense mechanism that enables them to blame their insecurities on external factors rather than engage in any self-reflection.
Pretty sad when you get right down to it. Although I have to admit, it would be much easier to deal with my own insecurities if all I had to do is claim all my failures are because my skin tone isn’t exactly the perfect shade…so there’s that.
self-worth based on skin tone has a name…Dindu Nuffin.
I have met people like her.
She actually despises her own skin. Looking at her own face in the mirror is painful but there is nothing that she can do. She wishes she could have straight, silky hair but it takes hours of hot ironing and the result is not really the same. And there is nothing she can do about it. Except, of course, for hating others about it.
She is a racist and a bitter one at that. It’s a good thing that I have met only a few like that.
For us normal people, it’s not the color of your skin that matters, but the contents of your character. It’s the set of values under which you conduct yourself in your interactions with others.
But that kind of people will never accept it. As long as there is a mirror around them they are going to keep on hating.
Whoopi set the bar low in the early 80s with her “bouncing and behaving hair” routine.
“A lot of people don’t like the ad campaign, and there are plenty of reasons not to: there’s no irony or camp to leaven the trashy, dog-whistle atmosphere.”
Your making a mountain out of a mole hill
I disagree
Your sounding woke as all h€ll
How does one leaven the atmosphere?
Ssssh! Or some a*ole in Great Britain will try it!
who ever made up that name? st. felix??? give me a break.
How do you properly pronounce Félix? Fay-licks?
Assuming it’s “French,” fay-lee(se). The last part means that you swallow the last S so French people won’t laugh at you for committing either way (a common nasty game they play).
Frenchy being impolite? You don’t say!
How is it different from St John, which is a completely normal English name?
For that matter, did you have the same reaction to the name Antoine de Saint-Exupéry?
Is it referring to the continued black on black on everyone crimes??
that their fatherless homes with females who copulate with anything they think they can snag ,produce??
“I would be heartbroken if I had kids with a white guy.”
SO much to unpack there.
The pro human “white” ads TOOK AWAY THE LEFTY NARRATIVE
THATTTTTT is the big victory
But you can only be the champ if you are able to DEFEND THE BELT
can we defend the belt and defeat the tricky dirty fighting of the leftists?
We can by being one step nastier by continuing to tell the truths
and taking back the schools the streets
DJT canNOT do it all by himself
The Great Fatigue of 25 will go down in history as normal Americans are growing weary of their attitudes.
It took only 16 years for Black Jesus to poison race relations in the USA, starting with the Henry Gates incident and careering downhill from there.
Great work, Barry.
I do want to applaud the black matriarchy for achieving such lofty goals and positions in society that one would have thought could never ever be afford a group so largely responsible for unleashing a group so vicious and vile onto society that in any normal society would you have you as outcasts
but nooooo
instead,, like a dem primary defeated word salad tossing kamala
you actually get promoted to being second in command of the most powerful nation EVER on the face of this earth,,,you breeders of criminals
actually hold positions of power due to the weakness and fears of those who you are very very close to eliminating
And with that, everyday, the incidence of “black fatigue” grows.
At a trial affirmative action meeting way back in the 60s, the black lady said it was discouraging to have a Western standard of beauty and see your nose was too broad etc.
The trial meeting wasn’t about guilt back then but more sociology and experience.
Another quota-hire nothing writing word salads in an effort to sound worldly and profound.
Another example of our failed immigration policy.
She should return and bask in the liberty and freedom of Haiti….
I think the hysterical campaign against a harmless ad indicates something sinister. As i have posted before, we are experiencing a psyops program designed to create division and chaos. So who is behind the program? Our own IC? A foreign power? I am convinced that multi-racial, multi-ethnic countries are vulnerable to these programs. In 2007 Harvard Professor of Political Science Robert D. Putnam published “E Pluribus Unum: Diversity and Community in the Twenty-first Century.” He was uncomfortable with the results of his own research. From the Abstract, (omitting the protective boiler plate weaseling),
” … immigration and ethnic diversity tend to reduce social solidarity and social capital. New evidence from the US suggests that in ethnically diverse neighborhoods residents of all races tend to ‘hunker down’. Trust (even of one’s own race) is lower, altruism and community cooperation rarer, friends fewer.”
Dynamite stuff which contradicts the dictum: “Diversity is strength.” In the real world, diversity is a weakness. Homogeneous countries enjoy greater happiness, stability and prosperity. In a word, the different races are “immiscible” (my word). In physics two immiscible fluids can create a Rayleigh-Taylor instability at the interface when the denser fluid replaces the less dense fluid. Sound familiar? In the UK saying this can get you a prison sentence. Unless we are careful, we will end up like the UK as the New Yorker imbroglio shows.
Multi racial/ethnic CAN work when they share a common culture and language. When folks begin prioritizing the differences in immutable characteristics v the commonality of the human experience or worse preaching that one ethnicity is better/more virtuous and others are inferior/inherently evil then we descend into Tribalism.
This is why assimilation of each successive wave of immigration is absolutely necessary. They gotta drop the pining for/allegiance to the ‘old country’. Learn and use English. Adopt the cultural mores, civic practices and basic behavioural standards of their new Nation. Don’t forget our own domestically produced ‘immigration wave’ aka our Children. If we don’t require each generational cohort to adopt and adhere to our basic civic norms and all the rest of what it means to be an American then they won’t be ‘Americans’ despite their birth.
The execrable Whoopi “Goldberg” (having appropriated a Jewish last name, to advance her showbiz career) peddled the same idiotic and ignorant stupidity, as this clown — “Jews are ‘white,’ so,
So tired of racist and stupid black morons offensively and dishonestly attempting to place an American racial gloss onto the Holocaust and the persecution of Jews by German National Socialists, Islamofascists/Muslim supremacists and others.
“…”Jews are ‘white,’ so, the Nazis’ genocide and persecution of them was merely a dispute between ‘white’ people. Never mind that the Nazis considered Jews to be sub-human vermin.
I believe her adoption of a Jewish surname was an in-your-face, up-yours, middle-finger action AT the “Jews that control Hollywood”.
while simultaneously advancing her career as a “chosen-person” wannabe.
“Better Call Saul” was never called called out because we all got the joke, just as we got Paul F Thompkin’s appropriation of a Jewish divorce lawyer on “Curb Your Enthusiasm.”
And she can’t even spell Karen (Caryn) right. In the spirit of Key and Peele, they probably call her KAY REN, or CAR WHY’n at home. 😉
Like i pronounce womyn “whim-whine”.
Could be. Or, just a self-promoting stunt to obtain publicity as a black actress sporting an unusual (for blacks) last name.
This crone is vile, ugly, stupid and evil, at any rate.
remembering Whoopi getting chuckles about bouncing, behaving hair and prunes really makes me vomit now. She is evil personified.
“There is another class of coloured people who make a business of keeping the troubles, the wrongs, and the hardships of the Negro race before the public. Having learned that they are able to make a living out of their troubles, they have grown into the settled habit of advertising their wrongs — partly because they want sympathy and partly because it pays. Some of these people do not want the Negro to lose his grievances, because they do not want to lose their jobs.”
― Booker T. Washington,
“My Larger Education: Being Chapters from My Experience” (1911).
Maybe give these people less oxygen, or do a weekly summary where they each get their 5 minutes. Sometimes outrage is too much, simply for $$$ and to foment even more hatred. Another racist hating UNKNOWN journalist? We hardly learned anything new.
Of course, there are times to be outraged and to expose the hatred and fraud. Rather than this typical example, more fun to see the unhinged Portland woman lose her mind over “unethical” dogs. At least it’s good for a real laugh.

That woman has major issues!!
Why shouldn’t American Eagle have an ad appealing to white people? Shouldn’t their focus be on people who will actually buy the goods?
“Mommy, let’s go to the Jaguar Rally at the fairgrounds! I wanna see all the clowns!”
Even the premise of her argument fails. The holocaust was tolerated for too long because Jews were not considered fully white.
“The holocaust was not tolerable bc of white victims so it ended.”
Now do the Civil War, “you ignorant slut.”
“In one post, St. Felix admitted she “writes like no white is watching.”
In the New Yorker? Would be career ending. The only use most blacks have for the New Yorker is to housetrain their pitties.
Who knows — this might in fact be career ending right here.
Racism: a belief that race is a fundamental determinant of human traits and capacities and that racial differences produce an inherent superiority of a particular race.
This woman is clearly a racist. She should be fired.
