Quote:That's pretty strongly insinuating that liberals do it with some degree of regularity, but conservatives don't. I'd wager there are plenty of people out there, regardless of political affiliation, who have marked themselves as a member of a protected class that they don't actually belong to in order to bolster their chances of being a quota hire. I have serious problems with that, as it takes the job away from someone potentially more qualified (which could be an opening to a broader discussion of Affirmative Action--one I have no real interest in getting into right now). My biggest problem with Dolezal, though, is that she put hate mail and threats in her own mailbox, reported them to the police, then used them as talking points to boost her visibility within the black community and her status at the NAACP.

 

Again, the same as my response to Anchorman.  I insinuated nothing.  What I stated is a fact, not a "blanket statement".  Nowhere did I say that "liberals do it with some degree of regularity, but conservatives don't".

 

Had a prefaced it with a statement such as "It's not surprising" or used a term such as "typical liberal", then you would have a point.
