[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think this is an important point, when you say it is all BS.  It actually is not all BS.  I do feel bad for Harvard, because the Trump Administration is not negotiating in good faith and is overreaching.  And certainly the threat of pulling Harvard’s tax exemption is grossly unfair and illegal.  But it is not all BS.  The race politics and race identity focus of Harvard is actually harming the people it is intended to help.  The DEI programming was terribly misguided.  
It is a tough situation.  Trump is a bad person and a poor President, no doubt.  But when a large number of your fellow Americans say something is wrong, I suggest you not dismiss it as BS coming from ignorant people.  Instead, maybe you should think harder about why some of these people are upset and what solutions might be acceptable to both sides.[/quote]

DP. It’s sorta BS though, cause the most commonly cited, consequential area of DEI was affirmative action, which was around for ~60 years during 6 different Republican presidencies. So, using outrage over DEI under Biden to justify the current nonsense is a big reach.  [/quote]

He said it's not all BS.  You do your side a disservice by displaying legitimate concerns.

Affirmative action 60 years ago looked nothing like affirmative action 10 years ago.  Or after BLM.

The DEI Asians are legitimately concerned about had been going on a long time but the DEI that has provoked the nation is much more recent.  Defunding the police is a new.
Waving Hamas colors at student protests is new.
Telling white people they are racist and if they don't admit their own racism then they are double racist .. That's new too.
The notion that the way to fight racism is with more racism, am allegedly"good" from of racism, that's new. [/quote]
