Why is this racist allowed to work at CNN, let alone destroy conservative writers, when he himself made a racist animated video where someone told a Latinx "why don't you go back to Mexico?"

Video causes stir at UC Merced
A label attached to a YouTube video about UC Merced students' recent push for a Chicano Studies minor warned students that watching it might cause uncontrollable laughter.
But some UC Merced students aren't laughing.
The video was posted Monday to the Animated Videos About UC Merced Facebook page, and also to the UC Merced Facebook page.
It was later deleted from the UC Merced Facebook page.
The Animated Videos About UC Merced Facebook page, operated by UC Merced sophomore Oliver Darcy, features a few other animated videos, mostly with conservative slants, that poke fun at events on campus, such as Jimmy Carter's upcoming visit.
Darcy is a member of the UC Merced College Republicans.
As of 4:30 p.m. Tuesday, the Chicano Studies YouTube video had 59 views.
A UC Merced representative said the school encourages open discussion and strives to maintain an environment where free exchange of ideas and opinions can flourish.
"Intelligent, respectful and spirited debate is among the pillars of our nation's great democracy," the university representative said. "The University also strives to encourage responsible dialogue in which the learning made possible by these exchanges can occur."
The video is a satirical depiction of an animated Latino female student talking to a white male student about why a Chicano Studies minor should exist at UC Merced.
At one point in the video, the man asks the woman why she doesn't want to identify as a U.S. citizen.
"Maybe you could go back to Mexico if you don't like it here?" he said.
"No, you have to conform to all of my demands," said the female character. "If I don't get everything I ask for, I stage useless protests to show how Chicano I am."
The female character is making a reference to recent teach-ins held by students and faculty trying to create a Chicano Studies minor at the school.

Sean Lambert-Diaz, a UC Merced junior and organizer of the push to make Chicano Studies a minor, said he understood the video was trying to be funny, but he felt it was offensive.
"It's a tough issue because we're trying to do our teach-ins" he said. "I feel like our efforts are being insulted."
Simon Weffer, a UC Merced School of Social Sciences, Humanities and Arts assistant professor, said he felt the video was a cheap shot at students trying to raise awareness about an issue because the students aren't confrontational at their teach-ins.
"Satire is one of the hardest things to do as comedy," Weffer said. "If you fail at it, then you come of as offensive."
This video speaks to a cultural insensitivity that's becoming more prevalent, he said, referring to recent racist incidents at UC San Diego, Davis and Irvine.
"In comparison to what's going on at other UCs, it's minimal," he said. "All these things speak to an inability to talk about race and ethnicity, so when students get to college this is what happens."
Darcy said he had nothing to do with the creation of the video and that he just posted it to the page because he thought it was sort of funny.
The actual creator of the video wished to remain anonymous, but told the Sun-Star in an e-mail that he didn't intend for the video to be offensive or racist.
"I made the video as a tongue-in-cheek look at the current Chicano Studies discussion happening on Facebook," he said. "It was designed to challenge, in a conservative satirical manner, the exclusivist desires of members of our student body. The animated videos of UC Merced that I have produced go after liberal ideology in general and are, first and foremost, meant to be satirical." The Facebook page is nonpartisan, but coincidentally, more conservative people end up posting, Darcy said.
Darcy said he welcomes left-leaning animated videos, too.

Not that I don't applaud you, but it says this in the article

So let's be clear. Oliver Darcy, a reporter at CNN who outed a writer on Tucker's show for online right-wing posts, himself posted a RACIST video on a Facebook page he managed.
Why is Oliver Darcy, an ANTI-HISPANIC RACIST, still employed at CNN??
John Allen
Hmmmmm, really interesting, so you're saying he POSTED CONTENT THAT WAS OFFENSIVE? Why would he do that?? Does he hate hispanics??? How could he possibly consider that content "funny" in any way, unless he himself is an anti-hispanic RACIST?
HMMM? Answer the questions please--be very specific.
Jackson Cruz
>I post racist videos about Hispanics on my Facebook page because I believe they're funny. Oh, oh, no, I didn't actually MAKE the video, but I did post it for some reason. Um, NOT because I'm racist. Guys, I really love my job at CNN. Please don't use this to get me fired.
Brayden Wilson
Um, guys, I just thought the video was funny. Um, wait, WHY did I think it was funny? Uhhhhhh
John Price
I love my job at CNN destroying conservatives guys
Kevin King
Surprised to see my local paper here.
This "Chicano" thing just seems like par for the PC course.

Racist, sexist, misogynistic statements and behavior of Oliver Darcy cannot be ignored any longer. This racist, sexist misogynist must be held to account for his speech, which is tantamount to violence to the oppressed.
Grayson Davis
Nope, doesn't matter. Stop covering for bigots, you bigot. If you ever laughed at anything, read anything, or posted anything that demeans people of color, in your entire life, you are a RACIST and it's time for you to be canceled. #RacistCNN #LoveTrumpsHate #Patreon

Parker Walker
So what were these supposedly racist, sexist, ____ist posts by this writter anyway? Just things that the media can call isms?? Hardly rates resigning over, should have stood their ground and done this back at Darcy instead of us having to do it.
Daniel Long
They were barely "racist" by any standard, let alone Zig Forums's standards. They were mild wrongthink (like a joke about not getting LASIK surgery for free even from an Asian doctor--a positive stereotype about Asians), or a joke about how if blacks are so "tired" all the time as they claim to be, maybe it's just sleep deprivation that's their problem. Also, a series of posts tracking a hardcore feminist Asian woman who froze her eggs. That was probably the most offensive of all, but to be fair, this woman was spreading her personal business all over the internet, opening herself up to criticism.
It was hardly even right-wing, let alone any -ism or -ist commentary. Basically milquetoast, center right, but pretty funny and engaging content nonetheless.
Ryan Campbell
i disagree with you.
people have been fired for merely sharing content, and he recently got someone fired.
time for him to taste his own medicine.
Lincoln Stewart
This vile racist must be stopped.
Wyatt Fisher
I am OP. How do you disagree with me.
Benjamin Martin
Nathan Turner
i disagree with the manner with which you downplay him sharing the video.
i don't disagree with your original post.
he should be held accountable.
Henry Rivera
He was asking about Blake Neff, the Tucker writer, and what he wrote that was "racist." My post explained that.
How the fuck could you read that so wrong, especially when I made the fucking OP
Brayden Wright
Man, resigning was a stupid move then.
Say what you want about this cancel culture BS, but people need to stop canceling themselves just because they got accused.
Go on and defend yourself or put up this libshit's own record of ism posts, something else besides surrender FFS.
John Gray
that racist kike faggot gas him right now!!!!!
Jordan Long
That's the point of OP. Not surrendering. Destroy Darcy. Until the hot war starts, all we can do is give them a taste of their own medicine.
Joshua Evans
Why is Oliver Darcy platforming racist content? Does CNN support one of their reporters showcasing content that promotes and normalizes bigotry?
Wyatt King
This!
Jason James
>How the fuck could you read that so wrong...?
1) i am human and therefore am not immune to mistakes
2) you are doing a shitty job of convincing people if you attack people that misread you, but obviously agree with your premise
3) get fucked.
Levi Ramirez
Alright man, just thought you were being a faggot tranny. You're on Zig Forums, not some hugbox.
Jordan Anderson
Fuck this racist scum
Chase Martinez
allow me to add a little insight to this thread.
Bad man gets pulled aside, presented with wrong think evidence and threatened to be publically doxxed and outed. Unless bad man agrees to resign. Bad man resigns. Still gets outed.
