hhhhhh / board panda / New Yorker staff writer Doreen St. Félix is facing intense criticism after her own past words came back to bite her.  Old tweets in which she expressed overtly racist views toward white people resurfaced shortly after she published a scathing article about actress Sydney Sweeney, whom she described as an “Aryan Princess.” The writer deleted her social media accounts in a panic after tweets resurfaced in which she admitted to being “filled with hate” toward White people. St. Félix had also claimed that White people were “genetically predisposed” to spreading infectious diseases, once again targeting genetic aspects of race, the very theme she used to criticize Sweeney’s campaign.

The piece quickly went viral, dividing audiences in the process.

Go nurse your Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women.” “[White people] fill me with a lot of hate,” she added. “White capitalism is the reason the earth is in peril.” Image credits: realchrisrufo The tweets were then collected and spread on social media, with one account writing, “Shocker, the author of the insane New Yorker article about Sydney Sweeney is an outright anti-white racist.” Soon after that, St. Félix deleted her account.

New Yorker staff writer Doreen St. Félix is facing intense criticism after her own past words came back to bite her. 

Old tweets in which she expressed overtly racist views toward white people resurfaced shortly after she published a scathing article about actress Sydney Sweeney, whom she described as an “Aryan Princess.”

The writer deleted her social media accounts in a panic after tweets resurfaced in which she admitted to being “filled with hate” toward White people.

St. Félix had also claimed that White people were “genetically predisposed” to spreading infectious diseases, once again targeting genetic aspects of race, the very theme she used to criticize Sweeney’s campaign.

In the article that sparked it all, St. Félix zeroed in on American Eagle’s “Sydney Sweeney Has Great Jeans” campaign, taking aim at the tagline’s double meaning: “genes” versus “jeans.” 

The writer argued that the ad’s play on words was loaded with racial and intimate implications, writing, “Genes, referring to Sweeney’s famously large breasts; genes, referring to her whiteness.”
