When The Woke are a problem and everyone knows it but can't say:

It’s worth saying that part of the subtext to these popularism debates is there was a moment in the recent past when the progressive movement really did try to impose message discipline — in the form of preventing people from criticizing looting or even using the word.
— Matthew Yglesias (@mattyglesias) October 8, 2021

That’s literally the thing that made @davidshor internet famous, but there were also these big internal debates at Vox and elsewhere about whether you had to call it “unrest” when like some guys smashed up the liquor store across the street from my house and stole booze.

Nate Cohn and David Shor on the political ramifications of race and immigration approaches by presidential contenders:

Obama '08/'12: downplay race/immig, avoid rattling right-leaning whites, get robust PoC turnout anyway

Hillary '16: lean into race/immig bc can't assume robust PoC turnout, even if whites get rattled

Biden '20: lean into race/immig while trading on own WWC persona https://t.co/nhlmoBR0FT
— Bill Scher (@billscher) October 10, 2021

AND NOTE Nate Cohn's thread is a real long one discussing 'Shorism"and the "Obama 2012" approach and also ends with menton of "Sister Souljah"

America's at its finest when it embraces the best of every culture. Undermining academic excellence in the name of equity will do the opposite of that -- punishing Asian immigrants for their cultural focus on education. https://t.co/7ZeF2SyKuH

Good question:

Do white people say things like, “I’m rooting for everyone white?” Do they patronize businesses because the owners are white?

Also it hit me watching this--and maybe it's just me--that I can't imagine Elle doing a promotion like this for an Asian woman at the current time when in actuality what came across to me here is currently more of a stereotype character that is "Asian striver" rather than "Afro-American"

Reality bytes:

A Korean friend who works for a major Silicon Valley firm singled out "woke" Indian-Americans as especially craven in their weaponization of "social justice" to advance.

East Asians hardly get along well. We'll see how long "Asian solidarity" lasts without whitey to scapegoat.

These are only a handful of developed countries, when they run similar studies elsewhere they are typically much more hostile to diversity. Why do I defend the American model so much? Well one reason why is because the alternative is much worse.

And why do they think that? Because it's a facet of their culture in a way it isn't in other cultures.
