The 2017 Eclipse is Racist

quote:

It has been dubbed the Great American Eclipse, and along most of its path, there live almost no black people. Presumably, this is not explained by the implicit bias of the solar system.


Ok fine. Not racist in itself, but a symbol of racism in the US.

This isn't even jumping the shark. This is jumping the turnip.

ETA: Thankfully the comments section is calling this author the fricking moron she is.

I missed that.

Also at the author pointing out that Oregon, home to one of the bastions of the SJW crusade Portland, being almost entirely white.

ETA: KEEP PORTLANDIA WEIRD

i'm guessing inuit are claiming they're not natives, which makes less sense than the other interpretation

This is a law professor?

And people wonder where the idiotic decisions about the travel ban came from?

I'll take "three states that aren't predominately white" for $500 Alex?

ETA: I guess "three states in the SEC East that get spanked by Bama regularly" would also work

Wow I remember way back to 2013 when I was proud to display my Atlantic magazines on my coffee table as I seduced the women of Milwaukee. How sad they have fallen so far.

The Atlantic still has some good columnists. Ann Althouse is one.

But they've succumbed to the "lets run articles that we know are completely amateur stupidity, but they'll get clicks" revenue generation template.

Nah man, I heard the onion rejected this story as too far fetched.

On the bright side, “that most troublesome class of population" is my new favourite euphamism.

"Affirmative Action" leads to unqualified people being over-promoted.

There's proof everywhere you look.
