Yet another instance of a bunch of coddled snowflakes threatening a professor because he said something politically inco

I don't give a crap who you were talking to. I contributed the very substantive, very relevant to you
"Around here, "identity politics" is like "cuck" or SJW or "race car bed", generally empty epithets thrown out by alt-right types bereft of substantive responses."
It's the current internet thing. "Sexist, misogynist,racist, transphobe, Islamophobe" are all thrown around like confetti, regardless of what the topic actually is to shut down the opponant.
Or when they actually engage in it. Your self-described being "overdramatic and nasty" and a "bombastic prick" and moaning about "Oppression League"s and "identity politics", and untrve advocating the segregation of nations by race. -

"Probably, although I think the problem lies more in the clamp-on-controversy gripping universities by the throat in the age of students driving policy and people not informing themselves on the topic being lampooned before objecting, rather than poor satire on his part."
I can agree with that. -

Yeah, it's on Twitter too. Remember the furore when trump retweeted some dubious crime stats from a user call whitegenocide?

It is on Stormfront, Breitbart comment sections, more than a couple alt-righty reddit forums, areas of 4chan, etc. That's the crowd he's spoofing.
What? Don't look at me, I just hang out there to see what they're jawing about.
Professor Noel Ignatiev called for the "abolition of the white race". England's diversity minister tweeted "Kill all white males". You're familiar enough with the alt right to know about "white genocide" but know familiar enough to know where it came from? -

Professor Noel Ignatiev
This is like watching an alt-right virgin stumble on his first Stormfront thread on nationalism. You're so new and fresh. Welcome to 1999.

One of my other opinions is that SJWs are super-attuned to irony and context, and never pounce on any opportunity to fabricate outrage at dubious examples of some -ism. If someone else "ironically" called for the genocide of some other group, SJWs would definitely jump to their defence. The only possible harm from these type of comments stigmatising white people is definitely only if they're literal.

I don't understand how they can sign a petition that rails against racist trolling in defense of this guy when he was literally racist trolling himself. And aren't these college SJW types the ones who repeat the "freedom of speech isn't freedom from consequences" refrain whenever
they're
the ones trying to get someone fired for saying something they disagree with? -

The ones that annoy me the most are giving up long held traditions and celebrations because someone might not agree with said tradition and get offended therefor we should just give up our culture and tradition because of the "offended". I recently read a story about a town in Italy that was not going to display the nativity scene around Christmas because a non-Christmas celebrater may be offended. Idiots that decide things like this should be beaten.
