my experience is that Brazilians just laugh and are like 'foolish foreigners do not know the truth of our great Brazilian inventor.' they're just chiller.
You can get a similar but far lower stakes reaction by stating the Wright Brothers invented heavier than air powered flight around Brazilians

My kids go to a "rich" public school. My daughter is 7 and cannot read; she is a sweet, caring, intelligent child, but if you spend a moment with her it is clear that she has ADHD an order of magnitude more serious than what you think of when you hear "ADHD." Anybody questioning her IEP can fuck off
"Rich kids are gaming disability accommodations to gain an unfair advantage" is actually very different from "America has an extra-time-on-tests problem" — and the author hasn't proved that either! Rich kids might just be more likely to be diagnosed.

This is what frustrates me so much about these articles: Propagating the narrative that large numbers of kids are faking disabilities is just going to result in a world where disabled people are *even more* scrutinized when they ask for accommodations!

Very similar to the trans-kids panic, where the prestige media narrative is that it's far too easy but you talk to any trans person, expert or parent and it's obvious that it's way too hard.
Once again, no one making these claims seems to understand the enormous hurdles in the way of getting a kid the help they need - in this case - I dare anyone suggesting this to go through an IEP process.

Just on the “st. Anne’s” point here for a second, hard left politics loves to argue that you can replace the state with mutual aid, etc., and yet have never managed to surpass (and forget replace) the Catholic Church as a provider of social services
Once again really speaks to the state of American leftism that "the state itself should do more social services" is being met with push back. Do y'all want the NHS or do y'all want grants to St. Ann's Hospital and Shelter for the homeless?

America is extraordinarily radical in that there are tons of different ethnic groups here, and we not only generally get along with each other, but the law treats us all equal equally, and we all do the same shit like eat fried butter.

Apparently every Chinese academic in any field of “interest” to the PLA is getting their visa rejected for, more or less, presumptively being a spy. My friend’s visa is denied because she studies “neuroscience.” What she actually studies is jaw pain - but ICE is flatly rejecting all appeals.
Just got the word that the Trump administration is throwing a brilliant medical researcher friend of mine out of the country because they’re Chinese. Insane and unreal. Literally doing research in the US to help the US

is it a good idea to
1) decide that a technology is militarily important,
2) deport as many people as you can who do it to your biggest rival for that technology,
and
3) also deport a bunch of other scientists who have nothing to do with it, but who now have a reason to be upset with you

This is how the people who downplay the political consequences of the student protest crackdowns also sound btw
Hillary Clinton blames TikTok and “totally made up” videos for young people’s views on Israel and Palestine.
She says social media influenced “not just the usual suspects” but also “young Jewish Americans who don’t know the history and don’t understand.”

No idea if anyone else has coined this, probably have, but I've taken to calling this kind of anti-Arab racism from people who don't even have any connection to Israel in an ethnoreligious sense "parasocial racism". These people are doing it for the love of the game. Same as with South Africa.
parasocial racism is such a good term for it lol

I know the racism doesn't care and it's not the main point, but Omar has lived in the United States since she was 13, thirty years ago. She became a citizen when she was 17, twenty five years ago. She's an American by law but also just substantively, she's spent her entire adult life as an American.
