This thread is excellent.

Kareem has been attacked by @ConceptualJames as a woke ambassador for this, others speculating he’s only in academia because of affirmative action (), and other nonsense. https://twitter.com/kareem_carr/status/1289761402639380484">https://twitter.com/kareem_ca...
This kneejerk reaction strikes me as genuinely low-key racist.
As much as I hate how “racist” is thrown around in massive excess as a justification for not listening to people, there was nothing remotely “woke” or “anti-racist” about what he said.

And he’s obviously more intelligent than everyone who attacked him, so why is his skin color automatically brought into it? Disgusting.
And if you oppose the woke mob shutting everyone down without allowing long free discussion, why are forming an even more vicious anti-woke mob?
