[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This whole thread is a disgusting smear campaign.  [b]It is classic cancel-culture.  [/b]

And as is typical of cancel culture: it is based on lies.  Ilya is in no way a racist!  Just because you disagree with his politics does not give you the right to lie about him or make baseless claims of racism.

I am reporting this thread.  It should be deleted.[/quote]

I am starting to think the definition of cancel culture is being held accountable for your words and actions. [/quote]

He definitely chose his words poorly.  Based on the the evidence, what is the appropriate consequence?  He apologized.  He deleted the post. I believe he was chastised or his words were condemned by the school administration. He should do better at choosing his words in the future.  Is that enough?  Does his head need to roll?  Given how quickly he apologized and deleted the post, I'd guess he won't do it again.[/quote]
How would you feel if you were a Black woman student in Professor Shapiro’s law classes? Or if you were applying to clerkships or jobs with a recommendation from him?[/quote]

Isn't the better approach to ask Black women law students what they think about his entire Twitter chain?  And what if their viewpoints cover the gamut from outraged, to annoyed, to uncaring, to full agreement?  [/quote]
