BREITBART — HuffPost Deputy Opinion Editor Chloe Angyal claimed the company had succeeded in its goal to have “less than 50% white authors,” on Wednesday.
“Our goals for this month were: less than 50% white authors (check!), Asian representation that matches or exceeds the US population (check!), more trans and non-binary authors (check, but I want to do better),” declared Angyal in a series of Twitter posts, Wednesday. “We also wanted to raise Latinx representation to match or exceed the US population. We didn’t achieve that goal, but we’re moving firmly in the right direction.”
“Making the improvements we made took work, no doubt about it,” she continued, adding, “We all tapped our networks and made moves to expand our collective rolodex.”
Though the posts received hundreds of likes, Angyal received over 3,000 replies, mostly consisting of users criticizing the company for focusing on race rather than content. […]
