According to an assistant math professor at the University of Hawaii, any white man with a job that puts him in power over anyone else should quit or at least think about a voluntary demotion. Piper Harron, who graduated from Princeton with a PhD in mathematics, said in an American Mathematical Society blog post last week that it was impossible to achieve equality until white “cis” men gave up their positions of power so they could be filled by minorities.
“Not to alarm you, but I probably want you to quit your job, or at least take a demotion,” wrote Harron. “Statistically speaking, you are probably taking up room that should go to someone else. If you are a white cis man (meaning you identify as male and you were assigned male at birth) you almost certainly should resign from your position of power.”
Harron went on to remind men who “identify as male and were assigned male at birth” that they do not deserve their own success, no matter how hard they worked to obtain it.
“Get off your hiring committee, your curriculum committee, and make sure you’re replaced by a woman of color or a trans person,” she wrote. “Remember that you live in a world where people don’t succeed in a vacuum; most success happens on the backs of others who did not consent. You have no idea how successful you would have been if you were still you, but with an additional marginalization (not white, or not male, or not cis gender, or with a disability, etc).”
Since Harron recognizes that few white cis men will take her advice (since they are evil), she calls on schools to take matters into their own hands.
“What can universities do?” she asked. “Well, that’s easier. Stop hiring white cis men (except as needed to get/retain people who are not white cis men) until the problem goes away. If you think this is a bad or un-serious idea, your sexism/racism/transphobia is showing.”
Ah. The “if you don’t agree with my idiotic proposal, you’re a bigot” argument. Very powerful stuff.
“When the applications come in, remember society makes dominant applicants look better than they are,” she warned. “Society makes marginalized applicants look worse than they are. There is no objectivity. There is no meritocracy.”
Even better. The “if you don’t hire felons and layabouts, you’re a bigot” argument.
Good news, though. If you’re worried about this kind of nonsense gaining acceptance in mainstream society (and, well…who knows anymore?), and you think you’re in danger of losing your job as a white cis man…all you have to do is put on a dress, change your name from Sam to Samantha, and – voila – you move from the oppressor category to the oppressed category like magic!
Seriously, though…has the fall of a civilization ever been so glaringly predictable?
This LIB fool is further proof that having an “ivy” degree means nothing other than you position yourself for lunacy in society. It is pathetic that taxpayer money probably funds her worthless position. What a racist loser.
People who feel a compulsion to "equalize' others, are not altruistic, not idealists; really not even naive utopians. They start out pursuing an absurdity, which telegraphs their problem with reality, loud and clear.
For an analysis of where their malady leads: Greatest Mischief.
In the Left's make believe world, egalitarianism is proclaimed to be a noble objective. It really isn't.
This woman knows full well that she has received preferential treatment in her schooling and in her job searches.
Major universities have full-time employees trying to recruit minorities for them - especially in math and the sciences. When the schools fall short of reaching their quota they open another black/gender studies program.
From her blog. Here she is whining about not being hired.
Oh poor me, the only reason I am not successful is because I am oppressed. People kept me out because I am a black woman. She admits that she struggled and yet she thinks that she should be hired over others who performed better than her and if she isn’t it is because of inherent bias.
She loves “thinking about things logically and abstractly” accept when it comes to self-analysis.
Not all white men should give their jobs to minorities, just those who claim we’re all racists.
Funny...
I worked harder and more efficient than 90% of people my age to get to where I am, and this clown says I should just “take a demotion”.
How about you step down to Janitor, Mr.”Professor”?
They never really wanted equality, tolerance, and diversity.
It was always about demoting Western civilization and whit men in particular.
I’m being held back because I have the wrong color vagina
No, that is cultural appropriation. Only Liz warren can do it.
Also been tried in Detroit and other large cities with same result.
Yeah, but I’m not white, I’m colored. Kind of a peach, flesh tone.
Wow, I had no idea how right I was calling this womyn (self-identified) an oxygen thief. I bet she laps up every affirmative action bene she can get her racist little hands on, yet still bitches how society is against her.
Upon identifying one, it is incumbent upon us to refuse to buy their products or services.
Well the white basketball and football players have already done that as well as most of the nations professional drug dealers, murders, rapist, thieves, and other professional criminal occupations. What more do they want?
I am a minority of one because I am unique.
We already give our tax money to people like this professor.
Wow! She could eat a cob of corn through a picket fence!
What an affirmative-action hire...fool.
IOW Atlas should shrug.
Nothing any professor could say would surprise me.
