Well their goal is to have the most uneducated populace in the US so this is pretty on brand

If you have an iPhone, you can't text on your computer unless you have a MacBook

the anti-LGBTQ agenda was pretty overt, what did they think they were getting? do they know who DeSantis is? I'm convinced these people either don't exist or are some of the dumbest people on the planet.

I might poke around it but I barely even use Instagram. But with Elon imploding Twitter, this is probably the best time for them to Launch.

Conservatives want to eradicate anyone that isn't Straight, White, and Christian, so why would I ever move to a red state if I'm not in that group?

It's now legal to have a WHITES ONLY sign out front.

There are many many reasons.... and everyone replying to you is talking about them all

  1. a "better" candidate by most academic standards is more likely to be wealthy and, in the US, that means more likely to be White. Simply put, White people have more generational wealth, which makes them more able to participate in extracurriculars, more time to study, less general stress.

  2. If a college wants to create a more holistic education than just academic, it benefits them to have a diverse student body. The more diverse the student body, the more tolerant and open minded your graduates will be. They'll be more open to listening to people that don't look like them, and society will be better for it.

and then there's 3) The elite in this country have always been and thus have been biased towards Straight White Men. Without guardrails in place, they will select more Straight White Men, and we will regress.

Sad, but expected. I'm surprised it lasted as long as it did. Just another casualty in Conservatives' war on equality.

yeah looks like only 3.6 mil people stopped using the site (out of 52 mil) but I have no clue what was even left during the blackout. Did people just not notice?
