Scientific American fired deleted a post by writer Danielle Lee for complaining when Ofek, a representative of its business partner Biology Online, called her a whore for politely declining an offer to work for them for free. As the blogger DrRubidium notes, Scientific American has not fired censored its white writers for writing in support of Lee, who is black. Here are Lee's own words on the situation.

EDIT: On rereading, the sources do not say that Lee was fired, only that they deleted one of her posts.
