Deliberate provocation is kind of a sport among some Jews, and it's the theme of the Bugs Bunny series, where Elmer Fudd is the stupid goy and Bugs is the clever rabbit stealing his carrots.
But true, I've also seen it from black and Hispanic people. It was normal in Chicago for the black booth workers at the CTA to block me from exiting until I pushed on the turnstile several times.

Alan Dershowitz and Ben Shapiro both are Jewish and heavily objected to DEI.
FuckTheMainstreamMedia Thanks, got a link?
The very slow crossing of the street on purpose by Blacks if the car driver is White. If Black, they walk faster because they know another Black will run their ass down for being a punk and dissing them.
The pharma company they work for has lost 50% of its value over the last year while celebrating drag queens.
ABA Legal Ed council suspends accreditation standard focused on diversity
The council of the ABA Section of Legal Education and Admissions to the Bar has suspended enforcement of the accreditation standard originally titled “Diversity and Inclusion” until Aug. 31 in the wake of a Trump administration executive order mandating the dismantling of diversity, equity and inclusion efforts and demands by the U.S. Department of Education that academic institutions eliminate DEI polices or risk federal funding cuts. ...
“The committee’s view is that with the executive orders and the law being in flux, it would be an extreme hardship for law schools if our standards were to require them to do certain things that may cause them to take more litigation risks and potentially violate the law,” said Daniel Thies, chair-elect of the council and co-chair of its Strategic Review Committee. ...
The section’s council is recognized by the Department of Education as the sole accrediting body for U.S. law schools and is an independent arm of the ABA for that function. Most states require applicants of the state bar to be graduates of an ABA-accredited law school.

🚨 I Am Living Proof That DEI Is Fake 🚨
It’s been almost a week since I was doxxed, and my life has changed permanently. A traditional Big Tech job is no longer an option—not because I lack the skills or experience, but because of what I’ve stood for. I didn’t do this for profit; I was already successful. And I don’t want to frame myself as a victim.
But here’s the reality: if I had aligned with the “right” ideology, my identity alone—deaf, female, and so on—would have been enough to open doors, maybe even land me a movie deal. Instead, my stance has made me a target to the point that I’ve had to completely uproot my life.
I’m incredibly grateful for the overwhelming support I’ve received on X and am leaning into it. But that support exists alongside an equally extreme level of hatred—hatred so intense that it has forced me to leave. That contrast should serve as a wake-up call. DEI, as it’s commonly practiced, isn’t about inclusion or equity. It’s about ideological conformity. And if proof is needed, I am it.
And the supreme irony is that the most vicious attacks by far have come because of my diversity credentials.
But also super grateful for X once again and I do feel like the most loved person in the nation despite everything.
I will never back down!
President Donald Trump has fired a top NATO admiral accused of spreading leftist ideology.
The Pentagon confirmed that Vice Adm. Shoshana Chatfield was let go over the weekend as Trump continues a purge of “woke” officials.
Pentagon spokesman Sean Parnell said Chatfield was removed “due to a loss of confidence in her ability to lead.” ...
Trump has fired a number of top military officers who advocate “woke” ideas.
Those officials include former Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff Gen. C.Q. Brown.
Brown, who is black, pushed to lower the number of white officers in the Air Force.
The psychological mechanism that lends equality its allure is Nietzsche’s ressentiment: the curdled envy felt by those who know they are botched products of nature, in the sense that they are inherently weaker, less beautiful, less talented, less healthy, less biologically fit than others, to such a degree that they will never, under their own power, rise to the top. Despite these disadvantages they desire power, they want to be on the top. Contemporary academic theorists all but throw this in your face with their position that all discourse, all language, all scholarship, all science, all philosophy, all religion, every word ever spoken or written, reduces to elaborate justifications for one person or group to have power over another, so what do you think they’re doing themselves? Using their words to gain power, obviously. They aren’t strong enough to take and keep power directly, so they must use trickery. They need to convince their natural superiors to believe in things that aren’t true, things whose inevitable consequence is to put them, and not someone else, in charge ... ideally in such a way that they can claim not to be in charge at all. They subjugate their victims by getting them to believe in false abstractions.
If this characterization of the desire for equality as emerging from envy strikes you as uncharitable, consider the emotional dynamics of the Yarvin-Allen debate. Yarvin certainly doesn’t believe in equality, yet while he could not resist trollishly toying with his overmatched opponent, he was gracious and polite throughout. Despite Allen being in every formal sense Yarvin’s professional superior, Yarvin did not show the slightest trace of envy towards her position. Conversely Allen, who claims to believe in the universal equality of man, clearly did not actually consider Yarvin her moral equal: she treated him contemptuously, as something unclean, something beneath her, like a perfumed noblewoman who’d stepped in something unpleasant. This seems oddly incongruous with her own professed ideals ... just as Yarvin’s courtesy seems, at first glance, out of step with his elitist embrace of hierarchy. Shouldn’t Yarvin have been the arrogant one? And yet there is no real paradox here, once you see that Allen’s ideals are born of envy, not of love, and that underneath the brittle facade of her professional persona with all its honours and accolades and privileges she hears the inner whisper of that troublesome imp, Imposter Syndrome, which by academics’ own reports haunts every hall of higher learning these days. She acts the noble, but knows herself the peasant, and so overreacts with exaggerated scorn when she encounters one she knows to be her natural better ... one whom she envies.
Allen’s entire demeanour indicates that she does not really believe in moral equality. She considers Yarvin to be morally inferior to her, precisely because he is her superior in more natural ways. She resents him for this, and hates him even more deeply for refusing to play her language game in which they both pretend that the two of them are equals. When she says she believes in equality, she is lying. She is lying because this is the lie that gives her power.

On Friday, the D.C. District Court officially dismissed Luevano v. Ezell, a Carter-era consent decree that banned cognitive testing for federal jobs and birthed the modern DEI mandate in civil service. ... Harmeet Dhillon: “The Justice Department reopened federal employment opportunities based on merit—not race.”
Luevano’s demise isn’t just a policy tweak. It’s another tectonic shift. The decree had barred aptitude tests since 1981 and imposed two race-preferential hiring tracks, gatekeeping credentialism, and boosting the unqualified. Now, the gates are open again. Federal hiring is poised to return to a selection-based system, and private employers will probably rush past. After decades of progressives slavishly worshiping the golden calf of credentials, the meritocrats have finally come down from the mountain.
Let’s tackle a little history so we can understand what just happened.
Before Luevano, applicants for most federal jobs had to take something called the “Civil Service Exam.” The CSE was a standardized, general cognitive ability test the federal government used to assess applicants for entry-level white-collar jobs, especially the so-called “professional and administrative” positions (GS-5 through GS-9). It primarily tested I.Q. —general intelligence apart from formal education— in terms of verbal, mathematical, and analytical reasoning.
The CSE worked well, ensuring the federal government was generally staffed with smart people. But in 1979, a group of Black and Hispanic plaintiffs sued, arguing that the CSE resulted in a disparate impact for minority candidates. They didn’t claim intentional discrimination, but rather that, statistically speaking, the test produced racially disparate outcomes.
The Carter Administration didn’t fight the lawsuit. Carter’s DOJ essentially agreed, and entered into a voluntary “consent decree” that abolished a mandatory CSE, banned any future replacement test, and automatically made eligible any candidates with a 3.5 GPA or a top-third class ranking— thereby effectively substituting credentials for capability.
Thus, Luevano’s Consent Decree became the original root or wellspring of what would inexorably metastasize into the formal DEI infrastructure, which first took hold in the federal government and then infected every company doing business with the government, through contractor mandates and purchasing preferences. Over the years, it predictably mushroomed far beyond race to ritualistically preference sex, national origin, atypical sexual proclivities, insanity (“neurodivergence”), and most recently, outright, bona-fide mental disorders like gender dysphoria and autogynephilia.
That’s all over now. And the implications are staggering.
Possibly the most annoying symptom of the DEI credentialist era was the rise of the so-called “expert class” of midwit officials making policy and swanking their credentials throughout the pandemic. There are so many examples. Transsexual, luggage-stealing nuclear waste disposal directors. Senators cosplaying as Indians. Doctors who believe men can get pregnant. And my favorite example: obviously sick people running our public health system, such as LA County’s corpse-like health supervisor, Barbara Ferrer:
This kind of deranged thinking —the terror of using merit or inherent intelligence in hiring— infected everything. I have written extensively about the “big freeze” in arts, culture, and science that caused the post-millennial period to be the least fruitful era in modern history. For one example, in 2020, the American Economic Review published a paper concluding that, despite ubiquitous computers, the Internet, and more money than Solomon dreamed of, research productivity still fell sharply during the previous two decades...
“Everywhere we look,” the researchers said, “we find that ideas are getting harder to find.” If only someone could have seen this coming.
It is difficult to find a Nobel prize in the post-2000 period worth discussing at all.
And since grades and degrees became the new currency for earning well-paying employment instead of merit, skills, or qualifications, the Academy began aggrandizing an outsized political influence. Going to college became not just something kids did to pursue their interests, but they did it just to have a chance of getting a job. A vast parade of horribles ensued: grade inflation, social promotion, rising costs of college degrees, and a sprawling, federally-guaranteed student loan industry that collected in advance the first twenty years of kids’ expected earnings.
It no longer matters how smart a kid is. Critical thinking became a handicap. It now mostly matters only where kids went to school, and how well they conformed by pleasing their grade-awarding professors.
By cutting all this off at the original roots, President Trump has reset the game. Merit is back. The sharp decline in good ideas is almost over. Since it touches everything, it is literally impossible to imagine how wonderfully this single change will affect the arts, sciences, economy, and culture.

On Friday, the D.C. District Court officially dismissed Luevano v. Ezell, a Carter-era consent decree that banned cognitive testing for federal jobs and birthed the modern DEI mandate in civil service. ...

Trump Admin Officially Designates DEI as Violation of Human Rights
President Donald Trump’s administration has issued new instructions to U.S. embassies and consulates that significantly broaden the criteria used to evaluate foreign governments for potential human rights violations. ...
The updated guidance directs diplomats to categorize certain government-enforced DEI policies as potential human rights concerns.
According to a senior State Department official, the revised criteria are intended to address situations where policies “result in discrimination, limit equal opportunity, or restrict individual freedoms.”
The administration argues that DEI mandates in some countries have created systems that prioritize identity categories over merit and equal treatment.
Officials say the new standards reflect the administration’s commitment to opposing employment practices or government policies abroad that treat citizens differently based on race, gender, or other identity classifications.
