I know one of these college-educated NPCs. Not so much a leftist as he is an actual fucking robot. Last time we were having an argument and I used the word "race" in the context of modern racial politics, it triggered that huge spiel about race not existing...even though it had absolutely zero relevancy to the conversation.

I'd have pointed that out to him, but he's honestly too fucking stupid to have understood.

Anyways, yes, they're pushing hard for this, because they don't have any way to account for racial disparities at this point. They're at the point where they have to suppress the very idea of race, and in the process, breaking their lesser model NPCs.
