Encouraging to see this happen. I wonder if the recent pro-Hamas student protests revealing how out-of-touch universities have become with the general population played a role in encouraging them to roll back some of the features that helped create this situation.
I think things were starting to move just a little in the other direction before this, but seeing woke bigotry directed at groups of people besides unambiguously "white" anglos revealed to the establishment left how ugly it was. Same with the anti Asian rhetoric from some corners in the midst of last year's affirmative action debate.
What an absurd, dumb strawman.
Absolutely not a strawman, you've had the woke left outright arguing for discrimination in Asians in education and employment so there won't be "too many" of them, and some of the glossy progressive web magazines (forget if it was Slate, The New Yorker or whoever) were even saying violent hate crimes against Asians committed by black people shouldn't be considered hate crimes because Asians are "white adjacent". Then of course there's all the antisemitic rhetoric that's come out post Gaza conflict.
This particular strand of the white left's self hatred runs so deep that they're even taking it out on other ethnic groups who they think are too white. There should be an entire branch of clinical therapy dedicated to trying to cure these people. Someone needs to tell them slavery, segregation, and even George Floyd dying aren't their fault like that scene in Good Will Hunting, because they don't know regardless of what they try to say.
