It's not enough to have hate crime hoaxes. We get industrial grade fake research.
The damage this guy did is immeasurable. I wonder how long Retraction Watch has before the ADL gets them banned off of everything.
It’s no big deal. Just like when Rolling Stone was found to be full of shit with their infamous campus rape story. It’s an easy pivot to “yes, but my lie reflects a greater truth.” As long as it “starts a conversation” it doesn’t matter they’ve no proof the thing they’re discussing is real. After all, if you’d dare deny systemic racism exists then they can dismiss you as speaking from a place of ignorant privilege.
Accurate racial science doesn't inform policy any more. This would be the kind of thing they'd use. I'm not sure it matters, because in this kind of science the conclusions are foregone, or they are not published at all. It's just like the climate science guy (from the other day here) said: Either you present findings that support the political narrative, and you play up that fact in your writing, or they don't publish you.
Never is an article written: Support for longer sentences for Hispanics not correlated with their increasing numbers. Or any kind of conclusion that white people aren't afraid of Mexicans or that there might be any kind of racial harmony. Whether it's true or not, those wouldn't be published and the hypothesis probably not even presented for testing.
Whatever kind of stuff does come out of this environment, it will be anti-white. Because of the politics. Accurate or not. With these kind of standards for hating white people, I'm sure you can find enough accurate reasons. White people do in fact resent the invasion of their country, and lefties call that racist, so one needn't lie.
Lol alot of these dudes are clowns. We had one renowned one get hired and his studies got picked apart by the crowd because his methodology was picking a conclusion and working towards it. He then of course said it was actually just his students work
And therein lies my main dissent from James Lindsay and his New Discourses ilk, no matter how useful their translations from the wokish may be.
The Grievance Studies affair caused no self-reflection in academia. You cannot argue reformation is necessary in the face of unrestrained institutional zeal for wokism. To reform would require a counter long march through the institutions, decades of thankless toil against entrenched ideologues who (at this point) represent the institution.
It is easier to burn rotten wood than refinish it, and in academia the rot is terminally deep.
I’m shocked! But then again, these race hustlers keep getting debunked and race incidents keep getting shown to be fraud and yet the media still keeps looking for the evil white racist
Hey, not only does this prove that systemic racism doesn't exist, but it's also a tremendous failure of the entire system that it took this long for people to realize it's all being faked.
I guess you just believe someone if they say things are the way they are.
I no longer wonder why there's failings at every part of society.
As if this is something that should have been noticed in peer review before the study was ever released. Proof that the process isn't reliable.
I've noticed that a lot of the formerly reliable things in this world have turned out not to be.
Just never ceases to amaze me how quickly you can break society down when you go from high trust to low trust in the span of a few decades.
I kinda always knew society was a few weeks from falling apart, a month, maybe. But I also didn't want to see people actively picking at it to push that time closer together.
Didn't this come out like six months ago at least? I know the article is from today but I definitely remember hearing about this a while back.
Anyway...
No need to worry about that. Every major journal has been taken over by the woke mob and they don't care about pesky little things like truth.
"racism" is fake and gay
And nothing will change.
It's probably written in crayon.
Me black me deserve PhD for not being white.
