Because they have real, actual concerns, and you come no closer to understanding and confronting those concerns when you play hyperpedantic language games that might be fine for a uni or a deposition, but simply don't reflect how people communicate in the outside world.

This is how you sound: "What's really happening in classrooms is DEI. But you're complaining it's CRT. That means you have nothing to complain about." Who cares what it's called? Address the underlying substance. Ignore the form.

"Officer, I'd like to report a robbery. Someone broke into my house and took my stuff." "What you're complaining about is a burglary, not a robbery. So why should I help you?"

Then report the robbery, or rail against diversity, equity and inclusion. We already know Rufo and the Manhattan institute are trying to broaden “CRT” to encompass any social ideas they find distasteful, and we already read Hanania’s essay that the goal s/b repeal of the CRA.

I did report what happened, but the officer hung up on me because I called it a robbery instead of what it actually was--a burglary. My stuff's still gone. This is what our brother Jeet is doing here. He is elevating form over substance, while ignoring the underlying issue.

Cool, let’s talk substance. We already know Rufo and the Manhattan Institute seek to broaden “CRT” to encompass any social ideas conservatives find distasteful, and we already read Hanania’s essay that the goal of “anti-wokeness” writ large should be the repeal of the CRA.

Yes, let's start talking substance. Non-black kids are getting race-guilted, not simply getting taught history. Gifted programs are getting cut. Asians are encountering roadblocks to admission others don't have to confront.https://twitter.com/TheTonus/status/1456229919986528258 …

White privilege is a thin that exists in our society, whether you wish to acknowledge it or not. Gifted programs (I was in one) reward kids who already tend to come from relatively wealthier families. And college admissions have never been solely based on GPA, i.e. legacies.

But yes, I understand why people who think they’ve figured out how to game the system to their kid’s best advantage in our cutthroat, precarious country get annoyed when the rules change in ways that don’t necessarily favor them. I just don’t particularly care.

Tell that to the, eg, Asian kid who studied his butt off, made time for extra after-school tutoring, and just plain outworked his fellows. That kid should be rewarded. He should not have to suffer because some other group of kids couldn't perform. That's what the complaint is.

As an Asian let me just say I don't appreciate me or my kids being used as human shields on behalf of white bigotry.

We are having an open, honest conversation, are we not? Asians simply outperform. That's in the data. It would be a dishonest conversation not to address that. People are sick of this bad-faith game, Jeet.

The bad faith game is that you people want to repeal the Civil Rights Act, but you know that looks bad to normies still. You have to soften them up first.
