In the hope of making my position clearer—that race should not be a determining factor when it comes to assessing the value of scholarship—I said to Padilla, “You may have got your job because you’re black, but I’d prefer to think you got your job because of merit.”
Yeah that was the nail in her coffin. She could have been a maligned but tolerated scholar, probably would have gained the support of conservative media outlets, gotten a career with the Cato institute or some shit. Instead she's pidgeonhold as a racist.
It was a pretty dumb thing to say tbh, even if it was just ebig rhetorical wordplay in her mind.

The only way to win with these types is to shut the fuck up and complain about it later with your buddies over beers.
Still, they're walking reminders to college aged men to not commit sexual assault; this is what gets spawned when you do.
