An academic who researches the far right has found himself unable to secure a job, attributing his unemployment to being a white male. This situation has sparked reactions, including a POC woman at Yale laughing at his complaint, which he described as 'punching down.' The academic's predicament has drawn mixed responses, with some suggesting he is receiving his just deserts for his previous unhinged far left criticisms of the right. The issue highlights ongoing debates about race and gender in academic hiring practices, particularly in history and STEM job searches.
sure they didn't bother to look at his scholarship at a lot of places because he IS a white male. i know white (and asian) males have been disfavored in lots of STEM job searches. so can only imagine in history... but isn't this the world he wanted? that's why we're confused https://t.co/EKcRmlAef8
His unhinged far left smears of The Conservative Other are exactly what history professors consider to be the central task of academic history, but there are no jobs for white males https://t.co/awVHKmMsKS
The OP is gettibg exactly what he richly deserves. He’s slandered the right repeatedly and now discovers he’s unemployable in a leftist fiekd because he’s a white guy. Play stupid games, win stupid prizes. https://t.co/UBXCVio21n
