[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Is it not racism when a powerful group of POC bully and exclude this woman because she's white? If she was a POC, would they not just ignore her and exclude her based on her annoying traits? It seems like they revel in hating her because she's not one of them. I'm not saying that should be what people focus on. I think this story is far more about plagiarism and groupthink, but I don't think Dorland would've been exploited and treated this way if she were Asian.

thanks to all the PPs for your input on racism. Much appreciated.[/quote]

Uhhhh, what?
Only two people in their group were POC, 90% of them were white.

Let's be real -- their treatment of Dorland had ZERO to do with race, and everything to do with their feelings of cringe towards her. 
[B]Dawn is needy and polarizing, there's no two ways about it,[/b] and they are a more sophisticated,  "popular" crowd that she never fit into and never could, no matter how hard she tried.

To attempt to make the claim that their treatment of Dorland was about her race, is laughable.

I agree with you that this isn't about Dorland's race (as 90% of the worst behavior towards her came from white people), but the bolded is flat-out wrong, and just a remnant of the hideously misogynist NYT article. If you read Dawn Dorland's correspondence from the lawsuit, she comes across as measured and reasonable in the face of some horrific gaslighting. Please do not continue to perpetrate an inaccurate and sexist trope.
