More Racism of Low Expectations - it's so apropos

This is clearly true, at least as it concerns the President of Harvard Univ.

@raphjd I believe HE just said, Blacks & Latins need plagiarism to get by. Racist!
That he thinks it, proves third point here:
PS. You can't spell "DEI" without "D-I-E".

His points:
Exam surveillance - He's talking about computer proctoring software, basically software that monitors that a student taking a test on a computer doesn't look away from the screen or go out of the picture (i.e., to cheat offscreen). He points out, quite correctly btw, that these shitty programs often have trouble recognizing ethnic or darker complexion faces. That's a real thing. I remember reading about ethnic students taking the Bar Exam and having to have their test footage manually reviewed because it reported them leaving the computer.
Zero-tolerance policies - Basically, he's saying that professors under zero tolerance regimes still have discretion to decide when to report, and when to overlook, a student having copied-and-pasted too many direct quotes. His point is that statistically, professors cut white students more slack than minority students, for various reasons, racism being a big one.
Fraternities and Sororities - Here's he's accusing frat boys and sorority bitches of getting an unfair advantage because minorities are, statistically, excluded from participation in Greek life (for racism, economic, etc. reasons) and, in case you didn't know, Frats and Sororities have huge databases of prior years midterms and final exams. If you're in a frat, then you can usually see the last decade's worth of exams for most of your classes and know exactly the kinds of course material that's likely to be tested and study accordingly. If minorities are less likely to be in Greek houses, then they don't have access to these databases.
As per usual, your racist Conservative twitterverse has sensationalized something that is, in fact, rather mundane observations.

Excuse me, but it's your (liberal) racism of low expectations that is the problem.
"Non-whites, except those we hate, can't do well unless they cheat or we remove the requirements to get passing grades" is what the left keep saying.
YOU PEOPLE, keep doing this, then make excuses that they weren't given a decent education, because of racism by the right.
If I had my business in the US, I would not hire anyone from Oregon unless they went to a private school because the Dem governor in 2018 and again in 2023 removed the requirement to pass the Core 4 (reading, writing, science and math) in high school. I posted about this both times.

Except that's not what THIS man was saying. And I suspect that isn't what most Leftists are saying when your side accuses them of it. You can't say your side has never cried wolf, because you literally just cried wolf here.

He is literally saying that antic cheating policies harm blacks and latinXs.
The governor of Oregon has said it that requiring passing grade in the Core 4 (reading, writing, math and science) to graduation harms non-whites. That is why she removed the requirement in 2018 and again in 2023. When this one expires, it will have been 10 years that high school kids in Oregon didn't have to be able to read, write, do math or know science. That is a fact.
We saw the something with DC's social worker test.

Saying that anti-cheating policies harm blacks and Latinos (I refuse to use the word Latinx) isn't the same thing as saying "Non-whites can't do well unless they cheat or we remove the requirement to get good grades."
"Environmental regulations harm small businesses." =/= "Small business can't succeed unless they pollute the environment and kick babies." See how those aren't equivalent statements?
-
I see the statement about anti-cheating polices the same as passing grades.
"Requiring passing grades to graduate harms non-whites." It's literally what the Oregon governor said in 2018 and again this past summer. What harm is she talking about, if it's not graduating?
What harm could that professor be referring to except it prevents non-whites from cheating?
There are all black frats and sororities. Also, it would be illegal for there to be all white ones, as we see with every other part of life. According to the liberal worshipped Wikipedia, the first college Frat was started in 1903, but failed some time later. The oldest college frat, that is still going, was started in 1904. There are other "fraternitites" that are unrelated to college like the Prince Hall Masons, the all black freemason lodge that started in 1775. So all this destroys the "frats" harm non-whites since they can get into mixed frats and all single race frats, but white can only get into mixed race frats.
Anti-plagiarism policies don't harm black women from becoming the President of Harvard, as we all know.
I hate LatinX too. It's such a dumb term and most latinos hated it, but liberals forced it on them.
