Asking sincerely: Where does the author of the article invoke white supremacy?
Is meritocracy now white supremacy? Because meritocracy means the people who perform a task and get the best results are then rewarded/accepted/promoted or whatever. Race is left out of the equation. If the task is sales, would you not hire the best salesperson? Is it because he mentions the affirmative action SCOTUS case? The people who filed the suit are not even white people.

@drown @Weyzu I don’t think you’re asking sincerely, based on how you’re extolling meritocracy or characterizing the SCOTUS case. If I’m wrong in my interpretation of your intent, apologies; there are other replies already detailing how DHH is advancing the cause of white supremacy in his post that may cure you of your naïveté.

@erikvorhes @Weyzu
No I am asking sincerely because I really don't see how that SCOTUS case is racist or how meritocracy is racism.
Asians are suing over Affirmative Action based on meritocracy. There have been cases where despite having the top scores applying for universities, some Asians are not accepted because the school is trying to meet quotas based on race or other attributes. The argument is that the school is discriminating based on race/demographics.

2.
about him by white people because he's a conservative.
Because of his conservative views he is often called a racist, or uncle-Tom, and even the most despicable words I'm sure you're familiar with.
It appears akin to religious orthodoxy where the church would decide the evil motives of people who disagreed with them. I don't think you're evil for believing in equality or reparations. I do think calling that journalist a racist based on his point of view is unjustified.

@drown @erikvorhes I just love it when people are trying to shift the framing of the problem by saying that someone is called racist not because of their actions but “because they are conservative”. “Let’s just ignore that part over there and conveniently pretend it didn’t happen (or it just doesn’t matter) and focus on the conservative part.” Don’t tackle the problem, just change the framing so it’s closer to a siege mentality.

@Weyzu @erikvorhes
A siege mentality? I've not heard that one yet. Siege would mean surrounding your enemy, cutting off their supplies, and then forcing them into surrender. I don't know how that applies here.
The repeating theme is that everyone who disagrees with you is a secret racist. That journalist believes affirmative action is racism because the policy takes race & historical oppression into consideration.
Blind testing with no race on the application would be the least racist.
