- malfist 7mo ago> while the DEI types waltzed right in with shitty grades And you know that because you checked everyone's grades? I'll also note, you didn't say your "white son" had good grades himself. Given that "local state school" almost as a rule let most people in, I doubt your "white son"'s good grades. And besides, grades aren't what matters. SAT or ACT scores are what matters.

- akramachamarei 7mo agoAre you questioning someone's lived experience?
- yakshaving_jgt 7mo agoThat would be true if those ideals were applied in alignment with liberal values. However, the most common material form of DEI is rooted in postmodernism and its various offshoot theories (queer theory, critical race theory, intersectionality, post-colonial theory, etc) in which colourblindness is inherently racist. So, no, not really.
- malfist 7mo agoSo many boogiemen in your post. Tell me, exactly, why does the study of queer people mean diversity and inclusion is bad? Not even going to touch your idea that colorblind racism isn't racism.

- malfist 7mo agoYeah, not reading a far right nonsense book. I'm a queer person, I think I know what queer theory is.
- yakshaving_jgt 7mo agoI don't think you do know what it is, and I don't think being queer inherently imbues you with that knowledge. Queer Theory is a philosophy (or theoretical framework) about language (as with all postmodernist philosophy). It's not a "study", and while queer people can be a subject, it's not its primary object. Furthermore, a book written by two liberal scholars is not a "far right nonsense book". --- Why do people insist on taking hard positions on topics despite never having read the material?

- malfist 7mo agoOr perhaps, I've taken queer studies class in college and know more about it than someone who read a book that's pushing an agenda. --- Why do people insist on taking hard positions on a topic despite only having read propaganda about the issue?
