"That’s when the public learned of the full context in which McNeil used the slur.
“On a 2019 New York Times trip to Peru for high school students, I was asked by a student whether I thought a classmate of hers should have been suspended for a video she had made as a 12-year-old in which she used a racial slur,” the now-former New York Times reporter said Friday in a statement.
He adds, “To understand what was in the video, I asked if she had called someone else the slur or whether she was rapping or quoting a book title. In asking the question, I used the slur itself.”
He is now unemployed."

@cassidyclown @matrix Why are you saying n-word on fedi my friend. Just say nigger.
@cassidyclown @Kacho @matrix This is more responsible reporting than anything the NYT has put out in 5 years.
@PunishedD @Kacho @matrix just realised I framed the child with the full "nigger" word and gave the journalist the benefit of the doubt... woops
