I'm sorry, I assumed that you had a wide and diverse enough group of friends and acquaintances that you could find white ethnics of your own to talk to. I wouldn't suggest approaching a stranger on the internet with impertinent personal questions.
Why should I mind if you want to make something up? It isn't, for the time being, at least, the post-Reconstruction south either. If that makes you feel better.
Your curiosity about my personal life is noted, but I am not inclined to satisfy it. I suggest you talk to local "white ethnics" --presumably you know some -- though they are not as thick on the ground in your neck of the woods as in the tri-state area.
What did the Crappy Media Men's list have to do with young people wanting (presumably mutually) to get laid? Were they youngsters trying to obtain the willing sexual favors of their peers? Or dirty old men with power?
Harvey Weinstein, Bill Cosby, Jeffrey Epstein, Donald Trump, and Andrew Cuomo (and their victims) don't count as "young people wanting to get laid," which has next to nothing to do with #MeToo.
Oh, because it would’ve been too expensive to take the case all the way through multiple levels of court and besides Target might have lost? Welp. That sure does seem like a statement that IQ tests are de facto illegal, doesn’t it?
Um, no. But you go on rooting for people to fight to the last drop of their blood, not yours.
you've established that anyone who decides not to exercise their rights to the fullest extent is just a whiny wimp, and that anything done by a private entity cannot in any way be the result of government influence or threats.
Employment cases are the largest part of my day job and everyone in the business knows and understands Griggs. I get the impression you think you are saying something that: (a) isn't perfectly obvious and: (b) is some kind of gotcha. Either you don't understand what you're saying, or reading, or can't make yourself understood. We've seen this movie before.
Imagination does a lot of work here. Threats, if they occur, are bad and there are ways to deal with them. Crowd sourcing six-figure rewards and loudly approving her are not among them
Shiloh Hendrix is a deplorable human being who did a bad thing, and lots of other deplorable human beings put up serious money to support her. Not to defend her against some threat of anything more than self-inflicted reputational harm, but for what, exactly?
Sound like bad people to me, and giving them a pretentious title with a capital letter doesn't change that. They said what they said, they did what they did, they reap what they sow. Some folks with unusually or selectively delicate sensibilities may have a problem with calling a spade a spade, but that's a them problem.
Saul can speak for himself, but it doesn't seem to me that he was looking for legal recourse at all. As a lawyer, he probably would have mentioned it if he were. And as a lawyer myself, I don't think there is any, whatever you might "imagine."
I look forward to seeing the actual report, but it seems odd that the Times would single out for special mention students yelling a political slogan at passers-by from a distance without, as reported, anything more to it.

Nice to have actual information instead of handwaving.

Why, yes. Suggesting what you ought to do doesn't create an obligation on my part to help you do it.

What you think of as your needs and my obligations don't match up.

Enlighten me as to why this would be any business of yours.

Did the vowel at the end tip you off?

My "stated position" is that you ought to check with real white ethnics before indulging in whitesplaining. The rest is you.

Don't be so sure. Your ability to speak with some authority on the subject is open to question.

WASPs aren’t really a thing anymore.
Welcome to the club.
You might want to check with some more "ethnic whites."

"Some" is not quite right, but otherwise that's accurate.

Lee said he doesn’t know a single student at the school who isn’t using AI to cheat.
