University of Minnesota on Whiteness Pandemic

[Servus]

Not reading what you are critiquing?

I don't wonder which posters would come out in favor of that strategy.

Actually reading it is what tipped me off.

And it was five or so years after Melania got her green card that she became a citizen.

So what? What does Melania have to do with anything? Nobody is talking about her other than you. Vance's comments were about the people who got us to the moon.

In the case of the German scientists that is a unique case, the U.S. led the industrialized world but a small group of German scientists was ahead in rocket science.

What's your idea of "small"? Operation Paperclip brought over 1600 of them. Either way, the ex-Nazis were hardly the only immigrants populating academia in the mid 20th century. Pick a discipline and you'll find that, even when the work itself was done in the US, large numbers of the scientists doing the work were born in Europe.

Neither Vance nor Trump claimed that no immigrant contributes until they become a citizen.

No, what Vance claimed - and what I've been addressing - was that we got to the moon on the backs of citizens, not low-paid immigrants. This is demonstrably untrue.

And you don't seem to have a problem with it. I guess broad brushing is okay as long as you are doing it to white people.

I don't? When have I commented on the substance of their positions?

Perhaps you should start a thread on Vance's speech and opinions about Vance. As to the University of Minnesota text that is the topic of this thread, in my opinion it is a classic viewpoint of the radical left, where a portion of the population is portrayed as oppressors and another, usually by race, portrayed as victims. They took the Marxist Critical theory, substituted race for class, and came up with Critical Race Theory.

It is this type of rhetoric that breeds racism.

Nah. Stuff like this doesn’t make people racist. It just gives racists an excuse to indulge.

Okay. If liberals want four more years of Trump, they should keep it up.

Lol a little too late to be using Trump as a threat. He’s president now and this is still happening. Seems ineffective.

It is still happening because liberals double down on woke identity politics instead of learning their lesson. Democrats would do well to listen to James Carville. But keep it up and the DNC will be less popular than Bud Lite.
