Race Wars 2020. Seriously, let's settle it once and for all.
Either all races live separately, or there can be only one race altogether
It's not workinghttps://dailycaller.com/2017/10/…
A University of Illinois math professor believes that algebra and geometry perpetuate “white privilege” because Greek terms give Caucasians unearned credit for the subject.But that isn’t the professor’s only complaint. She also believes that evaluations for math proficiency perpetuates discrimination against minority students, if they do worse than their white counterparts.
“On many levels, mathematics itself operates as Whiteness,” she argues with complete sincerity, according to Campus Reform. “Who gets credit for doing and developing mathematics, who is capable in mathematics, and who is seen as part of the mathematical community is generally viewed as White.”

The Seattle Public Schools Ethnic Studies Advisory Committee (ESAC) released a rough draft of notes for its Math Ethnic Studies framework in late September, which attempts to connects math to a history of oppression.- wait till they find out that algebra is arabic.uan

"...Some of the most bizarre and dysfunctional behavior in
America these days takes place on college campuses. Last
year student protesters on the University of
California-Berkeley campus physically prevented white
students from accessing their classes and the Student
Union Building to study. Incredibly, protesters declared
UC-Berkeley was their university, even going as far as
issuing a "notice of eviction" to white students before
demanding that university officials create [safe] "spaces
of color" for non-white students.But what if I told you that some colleges are starting to
take on an eerie likeness of Jim Crow-styled segregation?
In fact, there are so many examples of racially segregated
dances, student housing facilities, and commencement
ceremonies, it's hard to keep up. Vanderbilt, UC-Davis,
Cornell, Stanford, the University of Michigan, and scores
of other prominent institutions are aggressively
practicing identity politics.There are far more egregious examples of the new
segregation, too. Students around the nation have demanded
no-whites-allowed "safe spaces" for blacks. The University
of Minnesota offers a "Tongues Untied" program that
excludes straight people and whites, according to Campus
Reform. And it was reported in 2015 that a NYC school was
asking third-graders their race and then dividing them
into "affinity groups" (i.e., racial groups) for racial
tolerance training.Of course, this doesn't come out of nowhere: The San
Francisco-based Pacific Educational Group (PEG) - which
devises materials for taxpayer-funded teacher training -
actually recommends formulating student groups based on
race.PEG tells the educators that minority kids frequently
have a "different value and view on time, missed days,
working together, and wait time between questions and
answers," Gunn continues. Consequently, teachers should
"'be flexible' with minority students who are persistently
late or miss a lot of school days [and should] be tolerant
if black children exhibit 'an exuberant participation
style of shouting out answers and questions.'"Gunn further informs, "According to PEG, white culture is
based on 'white individualism' or 'white traits' like
'rugged individualism,' 'adherence to rigid time
schedules,' 'plan(ning) for the future,' and the idea that
'hard work is the key to success.'"What's so tragic about this is that by labeling
success-oriented behaviors - or, more precisely, virtues
and their sub-categories - "white," these "educators" are
encouraging vice in minority children. Years ago it was
only jealous peers who'd apply this destructive social
pressure, telling studious, academically successful black
students that they were "acting white." Now this attitude
has the imprimatur of authority figures."- haha this is brilliantset
- What is described above as “white traits” I always just viewed as the standard American ones, race aside. So odd.monospaced

He cherry picked voxpopping idiot spineless ingenues on campus who'd say 'yes' to anything if they figured it'd skirt offending anyone.if he interviewed non-white students on campus who'd agreed with it, I might've believed it, but flip flopping between children, black people off campus and a member of the KKK looks certain to only derive one very predictable sets of answers.

"Shooter" instead of saying the shooters name, claiming that he/she doesn't deserve publicity (unintentionally shining light on the fact that the news is show biz).
Is this another American juvenile conclusion or the aim of social architects?
Will it be ok to say Hitler in the future?- New speechsofas
- I thought it was simply because not everyone considers the shooters name to be a household recognizable one. Shooter is to the point.monospaced
- I didn't listen for or hear any media outlet explain their reason for saying shooter. I did hear his name about 10,000 times today though.monospaced
- http://www.dontnamet…
by anonymising the shooter the news isn't doing its job of educating the public on factssofas - also, i'm not sure what i'm talking aboutsofas
- to blend in, best choice is be silent. second best is to repeat what you heard in the news. if further questioned, say you didn't think about it or don't knowsofas
- I'm not sure that link you shared qualifies as show biz, or that the media shares the same sentiment. They are saying and showing his name. A lot.monospaced
- https://nonotoriety.…sofas
- It's also a link to the group that trains officers nationally to handle situations just like this, not some juvenile media company.monospaced
- They're certainly not social architects either.monospaced
- @mono yes, but also see above linkssofas
- I can't find the vid/transcript, but Anderson Cooper said on CNN that he won't say the shooters name because of the above reasonssofas
- it's a good thing. who knows what the shooter's incentives are but I would imagine notoriety is part of it. they shouldn't even show his picture IMOhotroddy
- @hotroddy, should Hitler's name and picture be censored?sofas
- found it, starts about 03:05
https://www.mediaite…sofas - Hitler? Fuck’s sake. One was a man who incited war. Twice. And methodically exterminated 6 million Jews. The other is a old guy who went mental with a gun.face_melter
- Your comparison is moronic at best.face_melter
- So dictatorship notoriety isn't a thing?sofas
- Hitler is always referred to as Hitler. Unless you want to use the name for a child, I'm not sure what your point is. :)monospaced
- @mono, during WW2 there were mass killings, but should we not utter the name of those who initiated them since that might give them notoriety and encouragesofas
- others to follow their path? this could cause exactly the opposite, giving the killers G-D status, or don't say the devil's name cause that will summon himsofas
- the fuck are you asking me for? I'm not making an argument on the matter, just pointing out that your logic is not entirely soundmonospaced
- utter any name you want, i don't give a damnmonospaced
- it was a rhetoric question, didn't mean to upset you, just trying to explain since you said your not sure what my point issofas
- I'm not upset. If your point is that there's some political correct movement to not mention the names, then I'm simply saying it's probably not very strong.monospaced

To answer my own question -- what is the next trend?
It's Tourette'sJust to be clear, I recognize that there exists -- and has always existed thought all times -- a small number of transgender people, who deserve the same ordinary dignity as anyone else. But the sudden onset of gender dysphoria in teenage girls in America in the last decade -- does not.
It is very tempting to group all of this together with the following phenomena:
https://www.theatlantic.com/idea…
"Three years ago, the psychiatrist Kirsten Müller-Vahl began to notice something unusual about the newest patients at her clinic in Hannover, Germany. A typical Tourette’s patient is a boy who develops slow, mild motor tics—blinking or grimacing—at about age 5 to 7, followed later by simple vocalizations such as coughing. Only about one in 10 patients progress to the disorder’s most famous symptom—coprolalia, which involves shouting obscene or socially unacceptable words. Even then, most patients utter only half a dozen swear words, on repeat.But these new patients were different. They were older, for a start—teenagers—and about half of them were girls. Their tics had arrived suddenly, explosively, and were extreme; some were shouting more than 100 different obscenities. This last symptom in particular struck Müller-Vahl as odd. “Even in extremely severely affected [Tourette’s] patients, they try to hide their coprolalia,” she told me. The teenagers she was now seeing did not. She had the impression, she said, that “they want to demonstrate that they suffer from these symptoms.” Even more strangely, many of her new patients were prone to involuntary outbursts of exactly the same phrase: Du bist hässlich. “You are ugly.”"
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/So…
https://www.psychologytoday.com/…"Neurologists have observed a strange malady that appears to be spread by social media.
There has been a surge in young women exhibiting Tourette's-like tics during the pandemic.
This outbreak of tics highlights the power of social influencers.""Throughout history, outbreaks of social contagion have typically spread in small, close-knit groups, most commonly in schools and factories. Investigators are often able to identify an index case—the first person to exhibit symptoms—which then spreads to other group members. Unbeknownst to the rest of the group, the index case is often suffering from a medical condition. There is a common saying in the social contagion literature that mass psychogenic illness is spread by sight and sound—that is, by hearing or watching others who are affected. But what would happen if outbreaks could spread over the internet and on social media sites by a virtual index case? This appears to be exactly what has happened in the current outbreak. It represents a major shift in the presentation of psychogenic illness. In the past, most episodes of mass psychogenic illness were limited to a specific location or community, but this is no longer true in the Internet Age."
