>He didn't do that. You must have read his writing differently than I considering he wrote: >I call these young people out for valuing illusory and subjective

  I can see how that sounds but take a look a the preceding paragraph and the links in it: "For some time I've been mean [0] to university students who feel entitled to a "safe space" [1] — by which they seem to mean a space where they are insulated [2] from ideas they don't like [3]." He does not mean "I hereby call out out these young people ..." but rather "This is what I did in the preceding links". This is a sticky topic and it's really easy to read stuff into things that isn't there - especially when the author expropriates a term like 'safe spaces' but if you read it critically and follow a few of the links I think you'll discover that he is in no way attacking minorities. 0. http://popehat.com/2014/11/05/breaking-existence-of-u-of-oregon-student-senator-miles-sisk-confirms-failure-of-american-experiment/ http://popehat.com/2014/11/05/breaking-existence-of-u-of-ore... 1. http://popehat.com/2015/04/14/fear-and-butthurt-at-uc-san-diego/ http://popehat.com/2015/04/14/fear-and-butthurt-at-uc-san-di... 2. http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/22/opinion/sunday/judith-shulevitz-hiding-from-scary-ideas.html?_r=0 http://www.nytimes.com/2015/03/22/opinion/sunday/judith-shul... 3. http://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2015/04/opinion-campus-speakers-should-be-chosen-with-discretion http://www.dailytarheel.com/article/2015/04/opinion-campus-s...
