my daughter's middle school has 'affinity groups.' about 20% of the day spent doing stuff in groups. divided by sex, sexuality and also jewish/not jewish and race. she picked the asian group. their poster is all about pagodas and pandas and sushi

why the fuck do ppl always forget about gen-x?

the exhilarating, even energizing thing, about these working class new yorkers confronting that guy is that they spoke in the language of the 1st ammendment and free speech. no "scare quotes." no problematizing. no qualifying with gibberish language that's moral clarity

"I'm not f***ing Jewish, he's not Jewish, I don't know if he is or not. Doesn't f***ing matter. This is f***ing the U.S.A. It's New York City. ... You can ... say 'Death to the Jews or America' or whatever you want but we can put up f***ing signs." x.com/nyscanner/stat

you can do something like build libraries. clear and distinct

shut. the. fuck. up. this was the great wisdom that was forgotten with younger millennials and zoomers. the traditional perennial whose initiatory chain has been broken we need to revive and restore tradition and instruct the youth on how to shut the fuck up

We had a Lebanese student in my freshman dorm who said the number of Jews on the hall made her uncomfortable because of her childhood experiences and then Jewish students said her antisemitism made them uncomfortable and then the RA told everyone to shut the fuck up.

wow, lots of morons are now college educated: "Although the majority of individuals with IQs < 90 did not have a college degree, approximately one in three women and one in five men did.." sciencedirect.com/science/articl

today i found out that 1) california is going to turn half a generation of kids into math morons *on purpose* because equity (#harrisonBergeron) 2) half of women with loans since 2009 owe as much or more now than they did when issued 3) 1 out of 4 college grads < 90 IQ

i'm hoping i'm alive long enough to see when no one pulls this shit anymore. what. the. fuck. these ppl r gonna demand the mars mission is inclusive the only thing it should be inclusive of is competence!

this person lives in an $800,000 house in decatur (ave. $450K) in a literally 90% non-hispanic white area next to downtown in a city that's 67% non-hispanic white (i figured this out in 5 minutes flat; these hypocrites are easy to expose)

my daughter's math teacher (6th grade) doesn't give any homework because "equity" our retard teachers with retard ideology promoted by retard professors in retard ed schools want to turn our kids into retards they r going to convert our kids!

there's no way that the CEOs of major corporations would be allowed to be as senile as our nation's political leadership is. the shareholders wouldn't stand for it the moral of the story is up to you

let me restate what i think is underneath this: "these are our kids, and our kids are good kids. when we destroyed the lives of your kids, they were bad kids, so they deserved it..."

That Harvard letter was horrendous, but it is insane for a 57-year-old billionaire to threaten to dox and destroy the careers of a bunch of kids. Maybe try talking to them?

i grew up in eastern oregon. i was shocked when i first spent a lot of guys who grew up in the suburbs of portland in my 20s who regularly used 'fighting words' without worrying if someone would punch them in the face. turns out that had never happened to them EVER...

If it wants to survive, DEI is going to have to decide if Jews are white or not. Either way is going to be a big change that's going to be very unpopular in some quarters.

reminder that trousers/pants emerged to ride on horses and were seen as barbarian by the civilized world 2,000 years ago we don't ride on horses anymore. we can go back to tunics

my personal direct experience (first-hand) is american fixation on race gradually declined btwn 1980 and about 2015. the 'progress' ceased after 2015, and in the lead up to 2020 it spiked up again and here we are i can say this with 100% confidence since i was there (lived it)

There is no "American-style colorblindness". The USA is hyper-racial and has been the entire time. x.com/ZaidJilani/sta…

pretty weird to me universities that put statements on student "safety" out when a scary speaker shows up aren't saying anything when a minority of their students have friends/relatives being kidnapped and murdered

i feel bad for crapping on my kid's teachers. but we're pissed; most are 'true believers.' they buy into this equity and diversity shit whole-hog. if you argue with them they repeat back moronic slogans and retarded studies. it's infuriating just my experience

this really sucks. but real talk: it's been open season on unprotected minorities in academic circles for a long time. it is clear jewish-americans thought they were a *protected* minority. no, the inner party of social justice saw it differently, so there you have it!

Jewish college students are telling Congress today about the unrestrained #antisemitism sweeping their campuses. I was particularly moved by Bella Ingber, a junior at @nyuniversity. Shame on NYU and other schools for their stunning failure to protect Jewish students.

Wow what a lie

The dig on FIRE deep on this piece is a journalistic embarrassment. latimes.com/entertainment-

the irony about being 'tools of whiteness' is among asian americans it's fresh-off-the-boat less assimilated groups that assert their agency, while 'asian american activists' and asian american studies professors mimic the norms and folkways of white liberals

Only Whiteness and white people have true agency. Everyone else is their pawn, and if they don't have the right views, it's likely because Whiteness infected them. Asians might think they know what they want but they need NPR to help free them of their false consciousness.
