    There's absolutely no room for interpretation there. He didn't leave much choice for Harvard. I'd do the same in a heartbeat.

    incredibly funny to me that this has conservative pundits slobbering about how he "NEEDS A FAIR SHAKE AND A HONEST CHAAAAaAaAAAaaaAaAaAAAANCE" as if they'd give a shit in literally any other circumstance or as if kashuv isn't going to probably land in some other ivy league which doesn't care enough about his shitheadery to not accept him, lol. maybe next time kashuv should try not being a dipshit edgelord if he wants to get into harvard. being 16 does not absolve you from consequences for the dumb shit you say, and i'm pretty sure kashuv knew that nigger isn't exactly some play word to throw around at that age unless he's the most sheltered white kid alive.

      Purely for the sake of argument, let's be charitable and give Kushuv the maximum benefit of the doubt.

      Let's assume he isn't just slinging insincere ghostwritten bullshit to get un-rescinded, or to fuel a right-wing social media victimhood shitstorm.

      Maybe he really did learn a lesson. Maybe he really has reinvented himself into a thoughtful, generous, accepting, non-hateful, unbigoted renaissance man.

      So what?

      There are thousands of equally qualified students who weren't racist shitheads when they were 16, and they deserve his slot more than he does.

      Though it should temper them, somewhat. This is not one of those cases, though.

    As an external observer, sometimes I get the impression that the current American right (the one that has the guts to take the stand, at least) is nothing but a thin shell hiding some kind of Nazi-Fascist conspiracy. I wonder how many actually believe they hold virtuous democratic values, and how many are just cynics, intentionally deceiving the public opinion in order to advance their Russian/Fascist/Nazy/White-Supremacist/Lizard-People(/s)/Whatever agenda. I'm definitely NOT one to easily be swayed by conspiracy theories, but this seems to warrant stronger investigation.

    I could say the same about Brazil, but the difference is that here I'm already certain of it.

      You get that impression because those with power in that group are hiding exactly that.

        But maybe I'm wrong, /r/RightAgainstTrump has 15 subscribers.

      What a hilarious tweet. "Don't be racist" is apparently an insane cruel standard? Huh? I feel like half the time Ben Shapiro is having an argument against some other position rather than the one...
