[quote=Anonymous]On one rightwing news site there was an interesting sort of freudian slip:
Apparently since 2018 there has been only one white male to write the forward to the Supreme Court issue of the review. One black man and the rest "women of color." The it says this is a drastic departure from 1995-2017 when the forward was written by almost entirely white men.

What clearer way to say what you think an unbiased world looks like?

I'm not saying that efforts to promote diversity, equity, and inclusion don't ever lapse into ridiculousness. At the same time, in the past 20 years I've felt blessed to discover--for example--the writings of non-white writers from all over the world appearing in the marketplace. What I know of the world has expanded immeasurably. There may even be an argument for over-correction (if that's what it is).

One of the examples the announcement (which was written in a very confusing manner, it actually took reading the rw site to understand the details of what turned out to be separate "incidents") cited was a rush review for a minority author. But the rw site added the detail from the communications that said author had an offer to publish their paper from another university, so they needed to jump on it. The announcement makes it sound like the motive was to make it a done deal (kind of like a certain deportation event) so nobody could object, but that seems not to be the case. [/quote]
