New Yorker writer who trashed Sydney Sweeney, deletes social media after anti-White posts resurface
"New Yorker Staffer Slammed for Anti-White Posts After Sydney Sweeney Attack" 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." The unearthing of St. Félix's old posts happened in response to an August 2 New Yorker article she penned in which she condemned Sweeney's American Eagle jeans ad. "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. Félix wrote, referencing the ad's tagline, "Sydney Sweeney has Great Jeans." "The American Eagle campaign, its presentation of Americana as a zombie slop of mustangs, denim, and good genes, is lowest-common-denominator stuff," St. Félix continued. "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." When Swenney's ad for American Eagle was released, it was met with backlash from some progressives and mainstream media critics who accused the ad of promoting "whiteness" and linked the campaign to the "eugenics movement." After coming across St. Félix's article, Manhattan Institute senior fellow Christopher Rufo took screenshots of the staff writer's old social media posts 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. Many of the old posts derided White people. In a 2014 post, St. Félix 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." As Rufo continued sharing her old posts to his more than 800,000 followers, he shared a screenshot of her having deleted her account in response to the backlash. "Doreen St. Félix, the New Yorker writer who says that white people 'fill [her] with a lot of hate' and believes that whites are genetically predisposed to causing plagues, has deleted her account," he wrote. After calling out The New Yorker for not denouncing the writer, Rufo also shared that the outlet had blocked him on X. St. Félix and The New Yorker did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Hateful anti-white posts of woke writer for prestigious Conde Nast magazine
A staff writer for The New Yorker has sparked backlash over a slew of shocking anti-white tweets. Doreen St. Felix, a journalist who has also written for Vogue and Time Magazine, swiftly deleted her social media after X users brought up her tweets about how 'whiteness fills me with a lot of hate.' In other tweets, she wrote that 'whiteness must be abolished', that she 'would be heartbroken if I had kids with a white guy' and that white people's lack of hygiene once started a plague. 'I hate white men,' the 33 year-old Haitian-American writer said in yet another post, which was first highlighted by conservative journalist Chris Rufo. 'You all are the worst. Go nurse your f***ing Oedipal complexes and leave the earth to the browns and the women.' St. Felix found her corrosive missives in the spotlight after writing for the Conde Nast-owned magazine about the controversy surrounding actress Sydney Sweeney 's American Eagle jeans campaign. The article slammed Sweeney's fans for 'wanting to recruit her as a kind of Aryan princess', and said there were plenty of reasons' not to like the actress's advert. Social media users flooded the New Yorker's X post on the article with St Felix's tweets, with one responding: 'She doesn't seem very neutral...' 'I think it may not be about the jeans,' another said, with screenshots of the writer's inflammatory tweets, some of which date back a decade. In one of the resurfaced posts, St Felix admitted that she 'writes like no white is watching.' St Felix's fascination with the Earth before whites continued in other posts, with one saying that 'we lived in perfect harmony w/ the earth pre whiteness.' 'All humans are not the reason the earth is in peril,' she wrote. 'White capitalism is.' Despite her disdain for capitalism, St Felix appears to benefit from its fruits. Her address listed as a $1.3 million home in a gated Brooklyn community which faces a pretty marina. In another post from 2015, she said that 'it's really gonna suck when we have a white president again.' 'White people, who literally started a plague because they couldn't wash their asses, need never say they taught black people hygiene,' she said in another. In one confusing take, St Felix said that 'middle class white people think hospitals are places to go when you're sick - that the police are who you go to when you need safety.' St Felix deleted her social media after the tweets resurfaced, and she could not be reached for comment. Daily Mail has contacted Conde Nast and the New Yorker for reaction to St Felix's missives. St Felix has been a staff writer at The New Yorker since 2017, and is a regular contributor to the weekly column Critics Notebook, according to her New Yorker profile. She was previously editor-at-large at Lenny Letter, a newsletter by actress Lena Dunham, and was a culture writer at MTV News. In 2016, the year after many of her tweets about white people were sent, she was named on Forbes' '30 Under 30' media list. In 2017, she was a finalist for a National Magazine Award for Columns and Commentary, and, in 2019, she won in the same category.
