But, I know that too many academics, especially but not exclusively white male academics, think that learning from people who will call you "lesser" to your face is some kind of right of passage that people of color just have to suffer through.
Anyway *I* won't forget what any of these assholes say about Biden's pick... just like I haven't forgotten what all these people said about Sotomayor.
But... you will. Law schools will. Deans will. Reporters looking for comment will. Producers looking for guests will.

There is simply no consequence, in legal circles, for slagging off a person's intelligence because they are a woman or a person of color. These profs will do it to your face while eating a cocktail shrimp.
