In a similar vein, I endured a kangaroo trial at the university where I teach over accusations of “racism.” My crime was not exempting a student who clearly needed a writing class, which could easily be assessed by her grievance statement alone: a litany of feelings with no evidence of my saying or doing anything “racist.” When the HR person advised me to find people who would testify that I am not a racist, and supply other evidence that I am not racist, I asked what evidence the accuser had provided. The HR woman replied (and I recorded it): “She doesn’t have to provide evidence. All that matters is the way you made her feel.” This took place at a prominent New York university.
An ex AFL indigenous player said "if a player feels booing is racist then it is." Not one person pushed back at this outrageously stupid comment because they are terrified of being branded a racist. So, he will continue to make similarly stupid comments in the future.
Ironically, he only has his high paying job because he is indigenous , and that surely is true racism.
So true Mark. I know of the incident of which you speak. I was a paid up 20 year member of the Richmond Football Club and when I pushed back to the club in 2017 on this matter (ie having a different view to the one authorised ) I received feedback from a young woman in her 20s informing me of my racism. Canceled my membership and have not been to an AFL game since. Still follow my Tigers. - they can’t take that away from me but I refuse to pay money to be told by brainwashed idealogues how to think.
