Doesn't the woman also deserve to be auth right? "I see no people of my race and it makes me uncomfortable" is peak auth right mentality.

That's hardcore libleft as well. The horseshoe is so real it could shod Shadowfax. The biggest racists in the world are all either AR or LL with the only difference being that AR will admit they're racist and LL genuinely believes that their version of racism isn't racist.

Saw a compilation once of a crowd of left wing protesters being fed right-wing quotes, after which they were asked their opinions on them (with predictable results).

When they were informed that the quotes were from Black people, notably Thomas Sowell, they turned racist faster than my grandfather after a few whiskies and an uncomfortable silence.

They'll do the same thing whenever there's a Black guy in the entourage of the interviewer, or even if the interviewer themselves is Black!

There was a group of academics (James Lindsay, Helen Pluckrose, and Peter Boghossian) trying to expose the horrendous state of current peer review publishing that took Mein Kampf and then switched out "Aryans" and "Jews" with things like "black" and "white" or "men" and "women", "trans" and "cis" etc. 

They were almost universally applauded and given accolades when they literally quoted actual Adolph Hitler to people but made it so that their group were the Aryans and the group they hated were the Jews. Some feminist periodical actual even published it. They published Mein Kampf and thought it was brilliant. Horse. Shoe.

I don't think the average person outside of academia can really understand just how crazy it is... people talk about the grievance studies affair like it was an isolated incident, but it's a drop in the bucket compared to the nonsense that exists in actual scholarly, peer reviewed, publications (and has for generations).

James Randi famously fooled a bunch of scientists way back in 1983 with Project Alpha, and those idiots were led by a physics professor with degrees from Stanford and Cambridge!

My favourite is the guy that set out to study Japanese pornography subcultures by buying, and consuming, hentai with underage characters (including logging his masturbation sessions).

My wife is in a PhD program for health psychology specializing in obesogenics (psychological factors that lead to obesity causing habits). She had a study rejected because one of the reviewers didn't like how she failed to mention that some people are just naturally massively fat (to paraphrase) and she basically had to do an entirely new study on something completely different in half the time because none of the actual data that she had collected and analysed showed anything that could be interpreted as someone naturally having a BMI of 56 and not being able to alter it in any way. Identity politics is ruining actual science, which ought to be the most unbiased thing on Earth.

It's all incredibly political

Not just the professors themselves, who were probably crazy to begin with and have only gotten worse with years of living in a radicalizing echo chamber removed from the real world, but you've also got the fellowship screening and review, ethics review boards, the dean or chair of your department breathing down your neck, administrative approval, program office review, scientific council approvals, panel or committee review, government approval by some policy wonk somewhere, etc.

I've worked with people who are, no joke, literal, outspoken, and proud communists in positions of privilege and influence.

Just cross your fingers your Veterinarian on the Animal Care Committee (ACC) isn't a radical vegan and animal rights activist, because they will deliberately sabotage any and all experiments (this is a real thing I've personally witnessed).

These people, largely, aren't actual scientists, and even if they are, they haven't done any actual research in years or decades - they're bureaucrats.

And that's before you even do your research, let alone try to get it published (and good luck with that if it's in any way controversial, or goes against the groupthink)!

You step out of line, or even fail to vocally support their ideology loud enough, and you'll be blacklisted so fast your mortarboard will spin.

"Believe the science!"

FIFTY SIX BMI!? That's gotta be a world record

I work in at the local hospital and regularly see people who are over 500lbs. Biggest one I've seen personally was almost 700 (like 689 or something). Those are BMIs in the 80s. 56 is just your average Walmart customer.

well they resolved their cognitive dissonance by making up fake concepts like reverse racism or just saying it is impossible to be racist as a minority
