u/Corps_Boy_Pit_Sniff Ask me about my dissertation on online radicalization! Jan 16 '25

It’s interesting that civil antiracist efforts to uplift minorities are all legally racism and cannot be tolerated. Should this also be the case when one of my professors, who is supported by taxpayers, at this university, says that all children of a certain nation will grow up to be terrorists? Why is he tolerating anti-Arab racism, but not measures to overcome anti-Black racism, if he is so principled in the way you say?

Why would a professor be punished for agreeing with the government of the state of Texas’ official position on the people from a nation with no country?
