Although usually mild-left, they sometimes publish articles which are pretty crazy-left.
Here's an example[1]: You have a university professor citing research saying that the 'acting white' phenomenon exists in integrated schools, plus her own black students tell her they suffered from the 'acting white' stigma. Yet she somehow concludes that belief in the phenomenon is not just wrong but 'intellectually dishonest'.

- dragonwriter 9y ago> You have a university professor citing research saying that the 'acting white' phenomenon exists in integrated schools ...in the course of arguing that it's image as a feature of all-black communities is false. (Integrated is very different from all-black.) > plus her own black students tell her they suffered from the 'acting white' stigma. What sdoes is relate that the “bullying essay” is a well-known archetype of freshman comp essay, and the common subtype of that type of essay she sees is one conforming to a particular form of the “acting white” narrative. Freshman comp essays from people who don't have stories they want to share reflecting the author inserting themselves into narratives from the common folklore of their community instead of actual personal experience is a rather well-known phenomenon.
