I have a friend who teaches at a community college, he tells me about one student, a Keisha from the sounds of it who files formal complaints of racism when he tries to get her to turn in papers and work on time. Same when he doesn’t give her high marks for shoddy work. She probably would be successful in getting him fired from his job except he is of chinese heritage and has an additional layer of inter-sectionality on her as he’s gay. I honestly despair that affirmative action and diversity hiring is going to make people avoid anyone who is black in any position where they could possibly do damage.
