    and Times columnist Jamelle Bouie posted, “i think you should tell readers if your source is a nazi.” He then deleted the post. But later posted, “NYT & many of its elite white readers are still obsessed with race-conscious college admissions,” according to Semafor.

    Scratch a Liberal and a Fascist bleeds. Again it shows that the white liberal way of dealing with ethnicity is performative at best and geared towards instrumentalization. When someone defies the box they want to put them in, the Racism comes out. We saw the same when liberals attacked ethnic minorities for not voting for Harris. The privileged were enraged that their subservients did not obey the implicit order.

    But no one should buy the premise here, because it is so ugly. That premise is that people have fixed racial identities, and these categories are strict. The most disturbing line in the article is this righteous bit—“asked if any of his family had intermarried while in East Africa, he said in the interview on Thursday, ‘They’re all of Indian origin, from Gujarat.’”

    Just a damn good point that race is not set in stone but dynamic. Haven’t seen this point until now.

    No, it’s not “out of touch” with progressives or Palestine; it’s actively hostile to them, and uses it’s influence to fight them.

    Honestly, liberals have spent the last decade worrying about misinformation and fake news, while giving a complete pass to some of the worst offenders, like the NYT.

    You shouldn’t pick a news source based on the fact that it agrees with you.

    You should pick it because it actually gives you information.
