If you work in the USG, Biden just codified a hyper racial hellscape for you and all your coworkers.

Euphemistically: DIVERSITY AND SENSITIVITY TRAINING!

Reality: Unscientific bullshit that does not measurably counter bias and likely ingrains “RACE ESSENTIALISM”

Yippee!
What does “Diversity Training” look like in practice? Well, it’s rife with principles and practices stemming from — you guessed it — CRITICAL THEORY.

This neo marxist mumbo jumbo manifests itself in privilege walks, implicit bias tests, lessons in white privilege, white rage
[You might be informed that white folks use “white talk,” which is “task-oriented” and “intellectual,” while people of color use “color commentary,” which is “process-oriented” and “emotional.”]

SOUNDS FUN AND NOT RACIST AT ALL!

And the best part of all is the most obvious.

While “multiculturalism” — that is, the exposure to many different cultures — probably reduces bias, these “diversity trainings” ingrain “race essentialism.”

Which just an academic way of saying: Racism!

I've read ~1,000 pages of academic and news copy on CRT in the past two months, and the folks who find it most difficult to define clearly are the liberal press.

Like here, in a wapo hit piece on @realchrisrufo that requires several corrections. archive.is/3pDwF#selectio… Image
*required*
On their way to taking the edge off CRT, they also took the edge of publishing several inaccuracies. Typically, in this business, we call these "corrections" Image

It’s amazing the lengths “disinfo reporters” will go to misinform and misdirect the public’s understanding of a topic.

Exhibit A: NBC’s disinfo reporters defining “Critical Race Theory” as simply “the academic study of racism’s pervasive impact.”

lol
I mean, “lessons on systemic racism” is a hilarious inaccurate summary of “critical race theory”

To call it euphemistic would be to give it too much credit even.
They continuously package this ideology in the most benign terms possible. Do they even care about conveying the truth? Not at all. The main goal here is to discredit the resistance.

The other fascinating thing is that Colbert and other higher primates that vote democrat and swaddle themselves in “science,” basically most of the press, keep using the “where’s the evidence” refrain.

It’s willfully ignorant because:
A. There’s only ever really been circumstantial evidence for either theory

And

B. The circumstantial evidence for zoonotic is SUBSTANTIALLY weaker.

It basically consists of Pope Fauci saying it’s historically more likely, which is …. True, but not a good way to close the book
For example: Say we have a lab like that in NC. Say a global pandemic gets its start right next to that lab in NC. Say the researchers there bragged about altering viruses. Say the virus tracked most closely to those found in hedgehogs in Illinois AND researchers also bragged

I keep seeing this assertion that conservatives don’t know what critical race theory is, and it’s flat out wrong.
For a little more than a year, the proponents of this destructive ideology have been rebranding it “diversity training,” and when conservatives called bullshit and somewhat successfully started identifying it in pedagogy and policy, the new line is they don’t know what it is.
Ofc someone asked me to explain it, and so I did. It’s not a very difficult concept to summarize.

1. To demonstrate my own, as an example, the first conversation about gain of function I had was May 1, 2020. It led me down a month's long rabbit hole researching highly technical papers. Sometimes it took me a week or more to read and fully understand 10 pages.
I did not actually pitch a story on it until first week of Jan.

I would love to say I was ahead of everyone. I wasn't. We did some reporting on lab leak, but we didn't get really aggressive on it until recently.

A lot of that is my fault. I was trepidatious.
I didn't fully understand. My assumptions about how the research worked turned out to be true, but I didn't truly understand.

Sure as shit didn't help matters that NO ONE in the field was willing to talk about it. One or two, I understand, but dozens of emails going unanswered.

Reading the Vanity Fair story and a bunch of things jump out at me just concerning the mythology of early 2020.

Many in establishment and corporate media have been blaming Trump for their own efforts to suppress lab leak hypothesis.

It’s odd. It reads like TDS.
Do your fucking brains shut off when Trump talks? Does the sound of his voice negate all ability to reason?

Trump’s “racism” in this case was just a reactionary response to wider media and elite institutions adopting Pro China postures and Chinese propaganda wholesale.
When every major institution is saying, you’re not allowed to say the virus came from China because it’s racist — within earshot of Chinese operatives saying the exact same thing — well obviously Donald Trump of all people is going to call it “China virus.”

The response here …
