The Insane "Social Justice" Thread II

[JettaKnight]

Remember when "CPT" was considered a negative stereotype? Clemson Remembers.

I distinctly remember Kut confirming CPT as a true thing.

Still, CPT is a subjective thing.

Time is time it doesn't care who or what you are.

Indeed.

However, timeliness is cultural. For instance, Germans are punctual, Italians are relaxed.

Speaking to the article, if a foreign professor is teaching in an American university, I would expect them to abide by American norms. Just like an American teaching abroad should follow the local norms.

Wouldn't it be simpler and easier to identify things that are not racist? Based on our current status, we don't need to list anything.

That is SUCH a racist point of view!!! (insert screaming SJW meme here)

OLD so I'm sorry if this is a repost...

I suspect the military is racist.

If my alarm clock is racist, can I punch it until it bleeds?

No. If you USE an alarm clock YOU are a racist. Apparently.

They may be onto something.

That depends upon whether your alarm clock is both racist and a Nazi, or just just racist. It's okay to punch it if it's a Nazi. Of course, if you can make the case for your alarm clock being Literally Hitler, you have a lot more latitude in terms of punching and otherwise exacting social justice. From your alarm clock. Your racist, Nazi, probably Literally Hitler alarm clock.

"Alt-right" is just the left-wing "fake news," a catch-all to ignore the substance of reporting/criticism of some person you personally dislike.

(My opinion - I don't think Sarah should be fired. I just think any company worth it's salt wouldn't have hired someone with her kind of racist views/history in the first place. By all means, if this is what the NYT wants... go for it.)

Well, this is what people are "allowing".
When are people going to say, "This is ENOUGH!"?

Competition over who is more of a victim or whose victim status trumps someone else's victim status was inevitable. Those who pushed the agenda are beginning to reap what they sowed and forced on the rest of us.

When you create a monster, don't be surprised when the other side tries to turn it against you. That's what the left has done. But when the non-left tries to hold them accountable to the same standards they've erected, they scream and squirm.

The source was Sarah Jeong. She’s not alt right, but her tweets were racist and sexist.

But I agree, that if the “paper of record” now wants to be associated with a racist, they shouldn’t fire her. They should proudly defend her, and their decision to hire a bat-**** crazy racist. Then we’ll all know where the NYT priorities are.

And give this thread a look: https://twitter.com/redsteeze/status/1025354199574433798

People trying to get Sarah Jeong fired yesterday for her racist tweets completely missed her awesome tweets about her new coworkers. NYT Christmas parties are going to be lit as ****.

*a bunch of old tweets of Sarah trashing men (now her co-workers) at the NYT*

People should really learn to have more fun with old tweets, is what I’m saying. You wanted a quick scalp. You didn’t think it through. Every man that has has to work with her at the NYT is going to have to go to work in a giant hamster ball.

In summation, digital lynch mobs = bad. Uncomfortable work environment at the New York Times = good. Be better people.

 

[jamil]

Christmas parties is racist. And White. And patriarchal.

But anyway, the NYT hired a racist. And then they doubled down on it. And I get it. No one wants to buy the NYT in print. No one wants to subscribe online. They have to live off of click-based ad revenue. So they have to get clicks. They hire a racist, sexist, *****, who purportedly has writing chops, and she’ll likely get clicks. Way more people will click on her first major NYT article now with all the publicity.

The biggest cost to the NYT is their credibility. They just lost it. As Eric Weinstein tweeted, they don’t get to be taken seriously anymore when publishing articles about racism now that they’ve hired one, and defended her. But they’re going to make money on it. The National Enquirer makes money too. How far the mighty “paper of record” has fallen.
