A response to Londregan and Klainerman - The Princetonian 9/22/21

To be known and shouted over: Race and first-year orientation  
A response to Londregan and Klainerman 
Zachary Shevin and AG McGee in The Princetonian - September 22 2021

Good reading, especially as a complement to the discussion notes that appeared on this blog - see "White Math" or Sergiu Klainerman's straw man - excerpts from a discussion. The feeling is similar, the author of the opinion piece in The Princetonian rightfully seeing false equivalencies where some Romanians saw the straw man:

"When we refuse to give grace by listening fully to the voices of others, especially historically marginalized voices, we make the same mistake as Londregan and Klainerman. We shout over and misrepresent voices we dislike. We seek false equivalencies rather than truth."
