The thing people like you and Sarah Jeong don't understand is many of us white people enjoy being made fun of, and you don't even have to be white to do it and we'll pay good money to hear it - Richard Pryor, Cheech and Chong. But you do have to be funny. You're not. She's not.

Sarah is brilliant, incisive analyst and satirist. I'm always thrilled to see her byline.

Dana: she meant it. Also: who cares? She should keep her job not because she’s a misunderstood champion of racial issues, but because she said stupid shit like everyone else ever, and so what? Responding with either feigned horror or woke celebration is just embarrassing.

Seeing as that you're not white, it's not really your place to say whether it's okay.

But would you say the same thing is a white "journalist" had make disparaging remarks about any on-white race? I highly doubt it. In fact, I'd give odds you and everyone defending Ms. Jeong would get the internet pitchforks ready.
