Zac Kriegman had the ideal résumé for the professional-managerial class: a bachelors in economics from Michigan and a J.D. from Harvard and years of experience with high-tech startups, a white-shoe law firm, and an econometrics research consultancy. He then spent six years at Thomson Reuters Corporation, the international media conglomerate, spearheading the company’s efforts on artificial intelligence, machine learning, and advanced software engineering. By the beginning of 2020, Kriegman had assumed the title of Director of Data Science and was leading a team tasked with implementing deep learning throughout the organization. But within a few months, this would all collapse....

If you're white and middle class, the push for health care "equity" could kill you. Prominent medical organizations and the Biden administration are pushing for rules that will move "disadvantaged" populations to the front of the line for scarce medical resources -- think vaccines, ventilators, monoclonal antibody treatments. That means everyone else waits longer, in some cases too long. If the public doesn't push back soon, getting fair treatment in the hospital will become as hard as getting into college or getting hired on your own merits. Last week, the New York Post reported that the New York City Taskforce...

Two Arizona State University students who were reprimanded after a viral video showed them confronting White students studying in a campus multicultural center last year have accused the school of "openly" discriminating against them. "Dear White People, A.K.A. ASU — You openly discriminated against us on November 16 when you handed down your decision from your racially biased investigation," the students, Mastaani Qureshi and Sarra Tekola, said in a more than nine-minute video posted to social media last week. ... ...ASU gave both students a warning and asked them to write about how to deal with similar situations and "facilitate...

A team of nine black climbers is attempting to scale Mount Everest to tackle the mountain's 'intentional lack of access for black people' and mountaineering's 'colonial history'. The Full Circle Everest Expedition, which climbing leader Fred Campbell described as 'the first all black and brown expedition to the highest place on earth' in an Instagram video, is hoping to change the future of mountaineering. The first two men to ever complete the climb to Mount Everest's summit were Sherpa Tenzing Norgay, from Nepal, and Sir Edmund Hillary, from New Zealand, in 1953. In fact, many people from the Sherpa community...

It's been a week since an antisemitic attack was reported in broad daylight on the streets of Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. Linda Sarsour has lived in Bay Ridge for years and headed the Arab American Association of New York until 2017.

Ilhan Omar and Jan Schakowsky managed to get through the House a bill that promises to criticize speech with which Omar disagrees. In his 1925 autobiography, Mein Kampf, Adolf Hitler spewed page after page of hatred for the Jewish people, proclaiming what he would do if he rose to power. When the Holocaust ensued, only the most uninformed or disingenuous could claim not to have realized that Hitler meant to eliminate Jews off the face of the earth. Since the end of World War II, anti-Semitism has become more indirect, with attacks upon Jews being blamed on other factors than...

Another racist Arab - Islamic bigot: Hussein Al Tamimi - AOC staffer He joined Ocasio-Cortez's office in November of 2021 in replying to pro terrorists "let's talk palestine" account he labeled the R word on multi-ethnic Israel. That democracy, where most Arabs actually prefer to live. A long tradition of a flaming hate campsin to cast out Israel in a "bigoted" light since Issa Nahkleh in his 1949 memorandum, he who denied the Holocaust in 1972 and has worked with Nazis in the 1960s-1983.______ See: Houston Keene, "Ocasio-Cortez staffer calls Israel..."

She’s a Democrat. It’s not like we were expecting her to be any better than Andrew Cuomo, but Kathy Hochul, who stepped in after the former resigned over sexual misconduct allegations, has truly gone off the reservation with this public health emergency. It’s not even COVID-related. The college faculty seemed to have overtaken this part of her staff because this isn’t a real health emergency. Well, it may be if you’re ‘woke.’ She declared racism a public health crisis, but these are the serious people who are the adults in the room, right? New York is once again the Mecca...

Mercedes-Benz’s latest hot car ad has caused Asian social media to blow up over ads featuring models sporting makeup that allegedly creates stereotypical “slanted eyes” which the Chinese find extremely offensive. The high-end German automaker removed the ad in deference to the Chinese from the social media network Weibo on Dec. 25 after a massive blowup over the “slanted eyes” issue. “Is there any beauty in this makeup?” one incensed critic wrote, according to the Global Times. “It is not [open for] interpretation. No Chinese will think this kind of ‘beauty’ is attractive,” another remarked. The Global Times, which is...

A group of Republican-led states slammed Nasdaq’s implementation of a diversity disclosure rule for corporate boards this week, arguing in a court filing that the requirement is illegal and unconstitutional. The states outlined their position in a legal brief supporting a lawsuit in the Fifth Circuit Court of Appeals, which seeks to block the rule. In the filing, the GOP administrations argued that Nasdaq rule “violates both the Constitution and exceeds the SEC and Nasdaq’s statutory authority.” “It is unconscionable to see discrimination so blatantly put on display by requiring these companies to hire employees based solely on race, sex,...

White people infected with COVID in New York State - the hardest hit state in the country - are in jeopardy of being turned away from potential lifesaving treatments in favor of other more at-risk races because of a national shortage of two promising types of medical treatments.

White people infected with COVID in New York State - the hardest hit state in the country - are in jeopardy of being turned away from potential lifesaving treatments in favor of other more at-risk races because of a national shortage of two promising types of medical treatments. In a shocking memo sent out by the state's Health Department, white residents were told not to bother trying to get Pfizer's Paxlovid pill or monoclonal antibody treatments. 'Non-white race or Hispanic/Latino ethnicity should be considered a risk factor as longstanding systemic health and social inequities have contributed to an increased risk...

The state of New York said it will prioritize non-White people in the distribution of COVID-19 treatments in short supply. New York’s Department of Health released a document detailing its plan to distribute the treatments, such as monoclonal antibody treatment and antiviral pills. The plan includes a section on eligibility for the scarce antiviral pills that people must meet to receive the treatment, including a line stating a person needs to have "a medical condition or other factors that increase their risk for severe illness." One such "risk factor" is being a race or ethnicity that is not White due...

Wow, the racial reckoning after George Floyd sure has gotten a lot of black people killed! According to the FBI, amid the extravaganza of violence following Floyd’s death in 2020, an additional 2,400 black males and 405 black females were killed, compared to 2019. The post-Floyd murder surge of 2020 is, by far, the largest year-to-year increase in homicide in U.S. history. So far this year, 615 black people have been killed in Chicago (out of a total of 767 homicide victims, 29 white); 164 in Baltimore, (out of 323 total, eight white, with the race of 144 murder victims...

A hoax paper in critical whiteness that problematises (sic) the use of white milk in black coffee as racist, has been accepted by Stockholm University and even received some praise. The essay called "Black and white drinks" was written by 27-year-old Arvid Haag and framed as an "account of what happened from the early 20th century in the struggle between coffee and milk". In the essay, Haag described how the marketing of coffee has been characterized by highlighting the "black and exotic elements" of the drink. With milk, however, "the local and the white" was emphasized, the news outlet Fria...

SNIP NPR music critic Ann Powers uncorked a long, unforgiving treatise on how it doesn’t matter that the Beatles were progressive and loved Black music because they were still somehow part of making rock music white and exclusionary: “Rock’s defining narrative still stands alongside others that reflect the historic segregation of Anglo-American social spheres.” The Beatles and the Rolling Stones wouldn’t play segregated venues and paid tribute to Black musicians who inspired them. But Powers wrote, “As they became rock’s norm, they allowed white fans to enjoy what the late great music writer Greg Tate identified as a pasteurized form...
