When you hire a white man because they’re a white man that’s not identity politics. Identity politics is when you get hired and you’re not a white man. The anti wokeness hysteria was always a backlash to integration of white collar jobs bsky.app/profile/jami...
Hiring a Black woman: “identity politics”

Hiring a white guy for a job that has been held disproportionately by white guys, because he is a white guy: “subverting” identity politics!

Simply amazing that the Supreme Court declared an end to legal race discrimination in the affirmative action case two years ago and now allows overt racism in both immigration arrests and redistricting.

Using race to help minorities? Bad. Using it to discriminate against them? Very, very good.

At every level of the university and the student bodies, some resistance but not enough, little outrage, and a lot of "I'm just going to focus on my work".

FIRE is a joke. They treat being asked about pronouns as a major infringement on student's rights.
"By assigning lower rankings to schools with disruptive protests -and failing to account for the integral role of such protests in our First Amendment tradition-the FIRE rankings provide fodder for government attacks on campus protests," writes Charles Walker: www.chronicle.com/article/fire...
