Yes! I saw this story. Write-up here if you haven't seen it already: https://compactmag.com/article/a-black-professor-trapped-in-anti-racist-hell

Students like Keisha have learned they can squeeze some power out of leveraging their victimhood. And while I sympathise with his position, professors like Lloyd are altogether too cowardly when it comes to challenging these students. Which, of course, is what the students are counting on.

It's exactly the same playbook the gender ideologues are using. Just as nobody in a progressive space dares point out how incoherent gender ideology is in case they get ostracised for being a transphobe, nobody in a progressive space dares question a black person's "lived experience," however improbable, in case they get pilloried as a racist.

In both cases, the Keishas of the world make life measurably worse for (and turn public opinion against) the trans or black or *insert identity here* people, just trying to live their lives. And completely ignore those who are genuinely marginalised.
