Also, my synopsis is right there:
> You can't have race and class: you'll win neither contest/war. Battles aren't wars: race and identity have lost most of the hills they won from 2020-2024.
I share things across Buffer from when I am doing my reading. I don't really consider anyone actually reading anything I post, to be honest.
If someone paid me to newsshare, I would stop and translate everything through archive.li

And the citation is just optional. I don't care if anyone clicks through, I only care if people read this far:
> The useful political lesson from Zohran Mamdani’s college application

in reply to Chris ABRAHAM • • •Full Article Synopsis:
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
> Zohran Mamdani’s old college app highlights how America’s rigid race boxes fail messy real identities. He checked “Black” and “Asian” because he’s Ugandan-born, Indian-heritage — but our system lumps “non-White” into crude buckets. The uproar shows how racial identity is policed, politicized, and still misunderstood.

Just another in a long line of leftist hypocrites, when it comes right down to it.

I grew up in Hawaii and since everyone's a poidog (a mutt/mongrel) I would always tell all the little kids that I was Irish, English, German, Czechoslovakian, and Hungarian.
I later found out that I am just a fucking haole.
How reductive.
