The tweets surfaced just as McCammond was being tapped to lead the teen-focused fashion magazine, which has become something of a leading publication for woke ideology in recent years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe tweets were shared in a&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/CMIKWZegh4n\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">now-viral Instagram post<\/a> by Diana Tsui, an editor at the website The Infatuation, who wrote: \u2018I\u2019m tired of big media organizations pretending to give a damn about diversity and inclusion.&#8217;\u201d t<a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/alexi-mccammond-parts-ways-with-conde-nast\">he New York Post reported<\/a> last week. The tweets included references to \u201cAsian eyes\u201d and a critical tweet about an Asian teaching assistant that McCammond has since deleted.<\/p>\n<p>McCammond turned down the position on Friday, writing, in a statement, that she \u201cbecame a journalist to help lift up the stories and voices of our most vulnerable communities. As a young woman of color, that\u2019s part of the reason I was so excited to lead the Teen Vogue team in its next chapter.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMy past tweets have overshadowed the work I\u2019ve done to highlight the people and issues that I care about \u2014 issues that Teen Vogue has worked tirelessly to share with the world \u2014 and so Conde Nast and I have decided to part ways,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI should not have tweeted what I did and I have taken full responsibility for that. I look at my work and growth in the years since, and have redoubled my commitment to growing in the years to come as both a person and as a professional,\u201d McCammond concluded.<\/p>\n<p>Her resignation followed a statement by twenty Teen Vogue employees, publicized by the magazine\u2019s social media manager, Christine Davitt, who said that she was \u201cproud of my @teenvogue colleagues\u201d targeting McCammond \u201cin light of her past racist and homophobic tweets.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/nypost.com\/2021\/03\/21\/teen-vogue-staffer-christine-davitt-under-fire-for-racial-tweets\/\">New York Post reports, however<\/a>, that Davitt is now under scrutiny after several of her past tweets emerged over the weekend \u2014 tweets which also contain racially charged language, including the n-word.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cDavitt \u2014 who calls herself a \u2018queer fat filipinx femme in brooklyn\u2019 in her Instagram bio \u2014 still had up old posts of her own in which she repeatedly dropped the N-word,\u201d according to a report from Fox News, cited by the Post. \u201cShe at least twice referred to a friend \u2014 who appears to be white \u2014 as a \u2018ni\u2013a\u2019 in 2009, and the next year also used the word \u2018ni\u2013a\u2019 in a joke tweet.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Her social media accounts have since been locked.<\/p>\n<p>Teen Vogue has been <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jgrantaddison\/status\/1206214285808078849\/photo\/1\">struggling with reaadership<\/a>, and it may not be difficult to see why. Although the magazine is ostensibly marketed at teens, according to ComScore numbers released in 2018, just 1 in 20 Teen Vogue readers was an actual teenager, and only 2.6% of the magazine\u2019s audience was between 18-24. Their market share is also, reportedly, declining after reaching a peak of 8 million readers in 2017.<\/p>\n<p><em>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
