The narrative that Asian-American students were just used by white people who wanted to end affirmative action.

NPR airs a piece about how the Asians weren’t actually being discriminated against by Harvard etc and were just being used by white people who wanted to end Affirmative Action while interviewing exactly zero people who dissent from that view https://t.co/KnN3Ik77r2

Funnier than "The Closer"?

This might actually be funnier than The Closer https://t.co/qfy2x5jOvt

ADDED: The video in the tweet got removed, but here's other video of the same scene that I found:

"During this time, I convinced myself that women were too damn difficult...."

I had to wonder who that teacher was, going public with misogyny (even if it was misogyny in the past). 

Looking for an answer, I found this 2018 article by Katie Herzog, "The Lesbian Who Taught Me What My Problem Was/I thought I hated my teacher. Turns out, I hated myself" (The Stranger). Had you forgotten to consider that the author might be a woman? I had. Excerpt: 

"[S]ome of the country's top doctors and professors... say that whole areas of research are off-limits. They say that top physicians are treating patients based on their race. That professors are apologizing..."

"... for saying ‘male’ and ‘female’ and that students are policing teachers. And in more than a few alarming instances, politics has come before patients. As one doctor put it: 'Wokeness feels like an existential threat.'"

I'm listening to this new episode of Bari Weiss's podcast. It features Katie Herzog.
