Did I say anything about the merits of her being banned? Crucially, I did not. The purpose of the biographical information is to provide context for her perspective. I am in favor of her being banned because of her inflammatory and derogatory rhetoric on various social media platforms which insinuates that Black and Hispanic students are inherently less qualified than Asian students - which I view as a moral rather than a political issue - but in this particular post I did not reference the merits of her being banned.

I would similarly argue that anyone who believes that slavery was a good thing should probably not have a voice in conversations about Confederate monuments.[/quote]

Interesting.  So you propose everyone who voted for Trump be banned from these proceedings? Or all Muslims? Or all Islam-critical Muslims?  Let's see a full list of your enlightened criteria on who should be allowed to participate in this debate. [/quote]

The list is:

Everyone who thinks that Black and Hispanic students are inherently less intelligent than white and Asian students shouldn't have a voice in this conversation. Period. If that happens to coincide with people who voted for Trump, so be it. I would hope that it isn't. [/quote]

I see.  Then why did you bring up her relationship with Islam? Why did you mention she was born in Mumbai? Did you imply that anyone born in Mumbai cannot opine on the state of TJ, or is somehow less than someone born in the US? Why did you bring up her voting record? Why not lead with what you REALLY consider objectionable? [/quote]

Her hypocrisy, opportunism, and overt AND covert racism are what are objectionable.[/quote]

Citation please.  [/quote]
