[quote=Anonymous]It is very interesting how quickly the fact that she may have plagiarized is attributed to "diversity." How about she plagiarized because she plagiarized. Why does it have to be connected to the fact that she is black? Check yourselves. Bias creeps in before one knows it. She is neither the first---nor the last---person who plagiarized or inaccurately attributed (e.g. Ron DeSantis attributing a quote to Churchill that came off of a beer can and that Churchill never made!). I wrote an article for The Washington Post on how we live now in a world where so much is lifted off the internet and shared without attribution that kids and adults think this is the norm. I am not excusing Gay's actions nor saying that she should not have faced consequences. But why does her failure have to be because of "diversity," code for black? [/quote]
