It's ironic in the extreme that this article actually contains the statement.......
Larry Sanger had a vision of neutrality, namely that people would be allowed to see reliably sourced facts like this in Wikipedia, especially if they appeared in sources who can be assumed to be neutral or even supportive of the person being referred to, as this one clearly is. The reader would then be left to decide if that meant they were a racist or a victim or somewhere inbetween - she can of course, be both a racist and a victim of racism.
Unless you think racism against white people simply isn't possible, as some Wikipedians do......

The reality of Wikipedia today, is that the liberals and leftists have decided that Larry's vision is just too dangerous. As such, you will not be seeing this sentence, or anything like it, in Wikipedia any time soon. Most likely never.
You want reality? Go elsewhere. Christ, read The Atlantic. You may not agree with its conclusions, but they at least let you know the facts.

The current reality of Wikipedia, is one where this statement is wholly inadmissible to the historical record scrolls that are Wikipedia's articles. As a piece of contextual knowledge, one that surely everyone on all sides can agree is true, it may as well not exist. Even though it does exist, and will do for years to come, whenever anyone Google's this person's name and a few key words.Over the years, Jeong has angrily and colorfully tweeted hundreds of times about her frustrations with white people
