From the Post article of the prof's grant:
This man did not get a grant because he's an anti-racist.
Your reasoning is deficient. Nowhere does it say that NSERC has said he was denied because of refusing to hire on merit.
He implies that, and in your bloodlust for Cancel Culture bullshit, you bought it.
THIS is what I mean when I say 2% of these things have merit. This makes the news in a National newspaper and people like you parrot it .... "Cancel Culture Cancel Culture".
I'm trying to listen to you, as I do. I'm trying to give consideration to your point of view, because you are a fellow poster on here.
But I have to say Black Dog's position strikes me as more and more accurate: this is becoming made-up hysteria by the angertainment industry. And - no - I'm not "afraid" of the PC police. I'm looking at facts, which you are not doing.
Equality of opportunity is mattering less and less, people are becoming more and more focused on equality of outcome. And if you don't have equality of outcome between groups, racism/sexism/oppression is assumed to be occurring, and discriminatory hiring practices are becoming a more common tool to help achieve this equality of outcome. Apparently asians make higher incomes than whites in Canada because white people are oppressed? That's obviously nonsense and proves my point.
Blah blah blah... you continue to double down and are discrediting yourself more and more in my mind. I already talked about social structures and how they influence perceptions and so on... in your quest for "facts and logic" you ignored what I said and labelled me as afraid.
IN our country, unfortunately, you count as a reasonably informed voter and yet you are being duped and continue to ignore it. You're an argument against democracy.
