12. Addendum:
@sullydish is avidly promoting a charming fellow who a) is offended at a joke making "rice cooking app for white people" b) repeatedly uses the phrase "white genocide" without irony. c) reads a joke about alt-right paranoia about "white genocide" literallypic.twitter.com/PsXrs0pePN

13. The concept "white genocide" has a particular provenance. It's a signature concept of the alt-right.
@sullydish is helping mainstream this idea and Adam Moss is totally okay with that.2 replies 29 retweets 201 likesShow this thread -
14. Here's the thing. If you are offended by "rice cooking app for white people" how do you deal with "White Men Can't Jump," Eddie Murphy's "White Like Me" or, in fact, 99% of hack stand up comedy? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=L104LViQeIw …

16. Oh look, the Jeong critic that

17. So, to recap: in his eagerness to discredit Sarah Jeong,
@sullydish promoted a guy who believes alt-right theory that "white genocide" is a real threat & is Pizzagate curious. And Adam Moss is okay with this & doesn't think it reflects poorly on New York magazine. Cool!!!!19 replies 65 retweets 279 likesShow this thread -
