Meanwhile, these are the same people who complain that white people harbor suspicions about whether the credentials of black professionals are the result of tokenism or Affirmative Action. And you know who that's most unfair to? The black people who genuinely earn their accreditations. But they probably aren't down with the struggle anyway, so screw them.
If you're white there is no winning this game, because you're not supposed to win. It's a "Tails I win, Heads you lose" proposition. That's why nobody should bother playing. The cream always rises to the top, no matter how many times they flip the bottle over. If academia becomes so twisted that people no longer accept it as a meaningful way of proving merit, then merit will be proven by other avenues. Let them complain that it's somehow bigoted to expect proper, scholarly English from students at the university level, and it will simply mean that entire disciplines become laughing stocks. Oh, wait....
There is an objective reality, and it always wins. The liberals can work themselves into a lather of sound and fury in their war against reality, but they've already lost. Plenty of us are sick of being collateral damage in their perpetual tilting at windmills. I think lots of them are going to be genuinely (and deliciously) surprised at what a lack of sympathy and remorse will be shown them.
