Can you say more about why it's a good thing that they hired Sarah Jeong, who has a history of racist and sexist tweets?

Which shows her "racist" tweets, and shows how they're only really racist if you strip away all context for them. It then shows how the alt-right use this as a tactic.
I found that very interesting, and I also now find it interesting to see who comments on these. Do you think Vox -- without attacking it as a source here -- is wrong that these Tweets have been read out of context? Were you aware that they were? Why do you repeat this talking point?
Burden of proof is on Vox here...
Can you think of a context in which it's OK for a white/asian person to use the "N-word"?
What's your point, exactly?
I've put some effort into trying to find these, and come up short. I was kinda hoping she'd said "honky" or something. Here's what I was able to find:

I am phenomenally interested to learn what the racial slurs for white people! Let's have them!
PS: I'm a white male. I've lived about half my life in two Black-majority countries and one Asian-majority country. I literally don't think I've ever had a racial slur used against me.
Why does the supposed context claimed by the person making the statements only matter when someone goes too far on the left, but not on the right?
Surely there are other potential editors to hire. Are they truly so low on candidates that this is the best person they could find for the job? What does it say about their competence as an organization?
