Oh I stated that of course I can’t k ow, but that I think her biases are more class related than race. My guess.

Okay my point is I know her. But piling up on women of color is cool, I guess.

Me, too. Hoping the Guardians do it for you, too. And that you feel the annoyance that their games are only streaming on TBS, which I don't have, but which I can pirate from my sister's cable account, which drops out. And then (as a Cubs fan, and a wife to a Guardians fan) I hope they choke.

I just reread it, and I can't find any lines that are leaning towards racism. I think she found a point and wanted to make it, everything else be damned. And her editors should have been more cautious.

I'm not disagreeing with you, but I also think that there's a diminishing amount of places a holder of an MFA in Creative Writing can make a living. I, myself, moved from academia (screams into the wind) to working in marketing because it meant I A. have time to write and B. can afford my bills.

And how is it proof that she’s racist, exactly? Which lines? Honestly asking.

And what you’re getting at is more why there wasn’t an editorial voice of reason.

Grad school, and considering the collapse of what grad school can do for a person, I think that’s not entirely true. I will say there have been some What was she thinking! discussions. But nobody that knows her thinks the impetus was racism. Or racist bias. Another kind of bias? Perhaps.

Would you listen to yourself? I fucking know that, I’m speaking to her character. Her bias that I could point to would lean toward classism rather than racism. Or intellectual…not snobbery, per se, but blind spots.

That’s why I said I can’t believe she wrote the article in the first place. But I do know her personally and she’s not racist. Obviously, I can’t speak to her biases, I just find it extremely unlikely.

The writer of the article is a woman of color who is decidedly not a racist I have no idea why she wrote that article.

“how do we win back trump voters in 2026” we don’t. we create an environment where admitting to voting for trump is so socially embarrassing as to render them completely inert. you don’t “win back” trump voters. you demoralize them into staying home. you make it a dunce cap
