Their very obvious claim is that it’s racist discrimination to *have a policy to address racial disparities* but it’s fine to have a system that simply creates massive racial disparities. The correction attempt is the outrage. Not the disparities. Because they are white supremacists.

Eugenicists: as you can see these huge disparities between this stigmatized, insular minority and the larger population are persistent, so it must be genetic
*disparities shrink*

Eugenicists: ah, well, nevertheless

Every sociological study ever: here are dynamics replicated in every stigmatized, insular minority around the world regardless of race, ethnicity, geography, or political system type, including ethnic groups now considered “white” back when they weren’t

To be honest I’m pretty sure the “sincere“ eugenicists - i.e., people who are in favor of immigration from China or wherever - are simply racists whose fixation is specifically ANTI-BLACK RACISM instead of strict white supremacy

Interesting disparities between perceptions and realities!
Also worth noting that the public consistently overestimates spending for some of these things, such as foreign aid. If you tell them what percentage is actually spend, they tend to adjust their opinions.

Bhattacharya has done far more to undermine health disparities research than to contribute to it.
About last week’s NIH & OMB meeting…
Okkn what basis can the NYT claim that Bhattacharya has been trying to preserve work on health disparities??
I have NEVER heard him speak up in favor of studying the social and economic determinants of health at NIH. Not once.

These numbers reflect the disparities that have always been there in college sports. But those disparities didn't lead to calls for equal spending caps ..... until some of the money started going to athletes, rather than just coaches, admins, and construction companies. You see how that looks, right

The label of “activist” also get disproportionally applied to journalist of color who try to represent their communities and bring light to injustices / disparities.
We should categorically reject and contest the assertion or implication that being an "activist" in some way diminishes/qualifies a person's perspective or positions; it's part of an insidious and reactionary project to make "passive apolitical consumer" the only correct mode of citizenship
