If any range of non-white non-male non-pablum people were in charge, you wouldn't have a job, Chait. You're employed largely because you are privileged.https://twitter.com/jonathanchait/status/1024348894791122949 …

I feel like u would say that about almost any white man. A simplistic and dumb statement. Be better

Nah. There are a lot of very talented white male writers who have jobs because they're talented. Then there are white male writers because white male people like getting their warmed over commentary from people who look like them and won't make them uncomfortable.

Yea but is Chait really that untalented? I personally find your commentary a bit more valuable, but some of his writing is quite good imho. Sorry i assumed you were making a more general point, but claiming that Chait's where hes at cause he is a white male strikes me as wrong

In my opinion he is, yes. And the areas where he shows any original thought -- beating up the left and championing charter schools uncritically -- are not really topics that should be unquestioningly mainstreamed.
