Huffington Post Op-Ed Editor Brags About Using Racial, Gender Quotas In Submissions: ‘Less Than 50% White Authors (Check!)’

On Wednesday, Chloe Angyal, deputy opinion editor of The Huffington Post, triumphantly tweeted out the demographics of those they had published. Here’s the breakdown:

This is intersectional politics in action. At no point does Angyal brag about the quality of the op-eds — it’s only the identities of those who write them that matters. Beyond that, there are certain disfavored people who will not be published regardless of the quality of their work: white people were at a serious disadvantage. If Angyal ran the publishing department at Harper Collins, she’d apparently be sure to dump the reprints of virtually every major Western author in history in favor of a series of Laverne Cox memoirs. For diversity, naturally.

It is somewhat interesting how arbitrary the numbers she picked are. If she wanted her op-ed page to be truly representative, why not simply mirror percentages of the population? That would mean that 3 out of every 1,000 op-ed writers would be transgender; black authors would represent 12 of every 100 op-ed writers; Asians would represent about 5; and whites would represent 64 out of every 100. But that’s not the proper racial balance, of course — that’s racist, or something. So instead, she picks numbers out of a hat, so long as that hat disadvantages white writers.

Perhaps the most galling part of Angyal’s rant is her suggestion that every other opinion page in America use racial quotas as a substitute for quality. This is discrimination. End of story. And leftists are bragging about it because identity politics matters more than either quality or common decency.
