From Fox News: A New Yorker staff writer rushed to scrub her social media last week after users resurfaced old controversial tweets in response to her article criticizing actress Sydney Sweeney, which described the star as an “Aryan Princess.”
Doreen St. Félix deleted her X account after critics began sharing her old posts, the New York Post reported.
These posts — some of them more than a decade old — included statements like, “I hate white men,” and that “white capitalism” is the “reason the earth is in peril.”
This type of hate-filled rhetoric and the hypocrisy of her prior comments are a problem for Democrats. In a piece for the City Journal titled, “The New Yorker’s Racialism Problem,” writer Christopher F. Rufo declares, “Prestige media has turned ‘antiracism’ into a farce.”
To rewind, St. Félix, “penned a screed” about Sweeney, saying she “represents a fantasy ‘Aryan princess’ to some of her fans, with her much-discussed breasts placed in dark contrast with ‘the Black man’s hunger for a**,’” Rufo explains in his piece.
So what’s the issue? St. Félix was torn up about the ad’s tagline of “Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans.”
She wrote, “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.”
St. Félixwent on to declare, “The American Eagle campaign, its presentation of Americana as a zombie slop of mustangs, denim, and good genes, is lowest-common-denominator stuff. 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.”
But that is only part of the story. Rufo found St. Félix’s old social media posts, and in them the trove of anti-white sentiment. He took screenshots and published them to his X account.
“Shocker, the author of the insane New Yorker article about Sydney Sweeney is an outright anti-white racist,” he wrote.
“I hate white men. You all are the worst. Go nurse your f—— Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women,” St. Félix had written in one post.
In his article, Rufo opined, “It seems that all of the conventional opinion of America’s chattering class is condensed and printed once a week in the pages of the New Yorker. In normal times, this process yields some good writing and reporting. In certain periods, the magazine has produced some magnificent work. But we have not lived in normal times for the past decade. The conventional opinions of the chattering classes have ranged from delusional idealism to racialist fever dreams, and worse.”
Well said.
