white men can't math

White (mainly male) grievance is a key ingredient that fuels MAGA.

"Won't someone think of the poor white men?!"

Of course they don't always say the quiet part out loud: that a person of colour or a woman or a non-binary or trans person couldn't possibly be as good as a white man in their eyes. So the math maths in their eyes.

Andrea Lucas, whom I’m pretty sure is a member of the Federalist Society, is acting head of the EEOC, is worried about THAT population?!

Can’t begin to imagine will happen to women professors with tenure, regardless of diversity. Someone has to sacrifice to get back to the 90%+

I assume the EEOC won’t be around much longer since their focus is discrimination and trump is all for discrimination. #Drumpf

They were already hacked apart. They are on their last lifeline now.

brachinus.bsky.social•2 days ago

if they had their way it would be 100% so clearly this is 44% discrimination

If “discrimination” equals not giving them equal challenges to hone their skills and character against

shadowwordpain.bsky.social•2 days ago

It's not 99% white men that's the "problem."

Wait. That sounds like the EEOC is relying on "disparate impact," which Trump has demanded be abolished.

chanda.bsky.social•2 days ago

That is correct on both fronts!

It also tracks with giving white Afrikaners refugee status based on "discrimination," while refusing Black and brown refugees, who are literally trying to escape extermination by their governments or gangs.

Also, lot of older (white male) faculty retired during COVID, which paved the way for a more racially and ethnically diverse population to enter TT roles (if universities were hiring for them).

And an even smaller percentage of the population that’s old enough to plausibly be eligible for the job.

chanda.bsky.social•2 days ago

The premise of the thing is that no population but white men are intellectually qualified

It’s eugenics and race science

drsurekhadavies.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes - snap (just posted this, just less succinctly)!

Apartheid Theology Didn’t End. It Evolved

These are men who destroy to build a racial hierarchy in service of their own wealth and profit.... they are bringing a “a neo-apartheid economic agenda to the US government.”

I wrote a paper about the scientific impact of assuming that white men’s knowledge is fundamentally more trustworthy and valuable, and the potential impact extends into the physical sciences
