Hacker claims responsibility for replacing NYU’s website with apparent test scores, racial epithet
A dark web user has claimed responsibility for briefly hacking NYU’s website and replacing it with what appeared to be test scores and an apparent racial epithet.
I fucking hate censorship. This reporting is largely unreadable, since much of it was deemed "offensive." I also like how they cut off the labels from the bar graph...although it was exactly what I expected.
Asians > Whites > Hispanics...[Blacks not pictured because too low.] Owch.
Archive.
They can't actually show what was being shown, that's cognitohazardous information. By simply seeing those numbers, normal people become racist and there is no way to spin them well enough.
So it has to be treated as taboo words you cannot even see or hear, for your safety.
Or, if we're going with the theme...cognigohazardous or, I suppose, cog***ohazardous.
Take your upvote and get out of my face you beautiful bastard.
You can't even call someone a paypig on the new CoD. The censorship has gone from simply out of control, to downright silly.
Remember what they took from us.
Can't go insulting people paying hundreds of dollars for awful skins.
I remember the good old days, when CoD didn't have microtransactions, people could call each other whatever they wanted, and we had P2P servers.
yup, gotta cover up uncomfortable truths at every turn. What's funny is how most people think the woke bullshit is new, but in the sciences, they've been covering up uncomfortable truths for decades, and even if they don't outright hide the data or slander the 60+ year old studies that didn't shy away from racial differences, not a single modern scientist is willing to address those differences honestly, as in they come from racial genetics.
False. When the Bell Curve came out, dozens of intelligence researchers signed an open letter backing up its accuracy. There is little to no controversy among the people who actually study the issue, as opposed to 'social scientists' who make up BS theories. Even someone like Turkheimer, who implausibly claims that differences in IQ are caused by... wait for it... slavery, does not deny that these difference s exist.
Pro tip: it's not online Nazis who persuaded even someone like Sam Harris that it is true that there are differences in IQ between various groups. It's just what "the science" says, in the real rather than the Fauci sense.
Why would people become 'racist' because NYU is privileging blacks?
Because the first step to racism is never "there are worse than me" its usually always "they get away with more than me."
Its why something like anti-semitism hate speech laws create more Jew haters than probably 90% of stormfag efforts to convert.
It's not exactly logical, because people don't really decide to get away with more, but it unfortunately does make sense.
Maybe also why radical blacks who try to get people to hate whites claim that whites are never shot by police, or that blacks have to work twice as hard to get half as far as white (something actually said).
It's not about people deciding to get away with more. It goes something like:
These people get away with more > they get away with more because they are held to lower standards > why are they held to lower standards? > they are held to lower standards because they are less capable.
That's why its a first step. First steps don't need to be logical, they need to be something that moves the object at rest into motion. And the best way to do that is make it something that might cause you harm or loss. Emotional reactions or shock of some kind.
Interesting that the GPA spread is a lot flatter. My cynical take is that there's just more pressure at the classroom level to make the underperformers look good, but maybe the criteria for the classroom are just significantly less indicative of IQ.
Could be. SAT and ACT are tests, GPA is a long-term average. So if teachers are routinely going easy on some students, GPA will round out more, as you say.
Also, if problem students are in particular schools, the teachers grading them might be less than ideal too.
We already know SAT is an accurate barometer of intelligence and that it does "discriminate" based on race because plenty of previously prestigious universities stopped requiring SAT results in admissions. SAT was so on target that using it as a factor for admission made it nigh impossible to admit any blacks.
It's only with the benefit of hindsight that I realize a large part of why my college years were such a positive time in my life is because it is the only time I've ever been in an overwhelmingly White environment. Sure we had the odd non-White, but the overwhelming majority of staff and students on campus were White people. I want to recapture that and the organic sense of community that was able to flourish there.
Ah well, back to marching through the hellscape with nothing on the horizon but endless war.
Were you on the 'right' at the time?
No.
I'm not sure what you're getting at with this question.
You might not have found them quite as congenial if you were. That's at least what I'd think.
The GPA curve flattens out because the obvious diversity admits flunk out in first or 2nd quarter. Those who stay after that are generally able to hack the course material, to varying degrees.
The GPA is indicative of high school grades.
While that's true, it's not what's being shown here. Unless I'm misunderstanding you.
This is GPA on admittance, so it doesn't matter at all how they perform at NYU.
I've heard that some schools give a mark for 'participation'. I can't imagine one of these professor or TAs giving lower marks to blacks on average, even if it's actually justified.
There was a big old pile of pseudoscience book written by degerenate white supremacist assholes called the bell curve a while back that detailed that exact phenomenon
It was true then and still is now, but they're discredited nonetheless
Don't fight it, Winston. You will love Big Brother in the end.
That archive is unreadable.
I would post an archive, but none of those sites are working for me today.
The leaked stats show that NYU would accept asians with an average 1485 SAT score, whites with 1428, hispanics with 1355, and blacks with 1289.
This link has the raw leaked stats.
That's like almost 2 standard deviations?
Edit:Just checked, one standard deviation is 229 points
I linked it.

Shieeet nigga, 1289. Das is like, too hard.
1050 is the average score.
The average sat score of the typical state college is ~1260. This is NYU, which is or was a feeder for Ivy league secondary schools, having a 1400 is considered a minimum.
If you've never seen him around at least at one point Niggy is a Poast user lol.
That is his name? The 'article' calls him/her "Ni-y". I guess a g between an i and anything else is verboten.
There are many ways to interpret this. Are they saying Asians are discriminated against for the admission process (higher standards) and then again once enrolled (lower grades)? I find it hard to believe a leftist university would grade whites higher than Asians on purpose.
Edit: Unless the whites were predominantly women or LGBT.
I interpret it as "let's talk about anything but the low black scores".
They might want to (whites are favored over Asians in the admission process), but I don't see a realistic way of actually doing that. Exam results are far less arbitrary than admissions, and Asians aren't going to take kindly to getting low marks for answers they get right.
Agreed, I find it hard to square that.
Asians are better at testing when being driven by family pressure and culture, but Whites end up being better at self-motivating over the long-term?
Granted, there's alot of factors that can influence GPA, but it's possible that for Asians alot of the effort is front-loaded(gearing up and studying for the ACT), whereas for Whites it's all back-loaded(attending and scoring high in college).
Just a stab in the dark.
Look at you framing the absolute bare minimum that you could possibly do, which is to not have your own freaking website point to the hacker's information, as some sort of nuclear submarine that has to be "brought to a halt".
Also, why do they keep calling it a redirect? It was on NYU.edu, as the archive shows. It wasn't directing you offsite, it replaced the main page.
I guess it's less embarrassing to have their site be redirected to something else rather than for it to be commandeered to show information embarrassing to them?
