Yep! The second ask specified that the whole flight crew would be at the "nearest Starbucks" and they'd also appreciate a coffee It felt incredibly tacky, but I had no idea their attendants' pay is so low

PSA, I also noted that I didn't expect such violence to be either immediate or widespread, but that Trump's core is indeed primed for further radicalization from this outcome and subsequent rhetoric

We cannot pretend that everyone had an equal voice on campus in light of these different perceptions, and we must also consider the possible consequences of that legacy today.

Muslim students at this time were still dealing with rampant and largely socially acceptable Islamophobia, including threats of deportation, following 9/11 based merely on their country of origin.

Both statements, alongside the fact that Muslims students were, conversely, coded as an undesirable student population, have nonetheless shaped the recent history of how some in the administration may choose to prioritize perspectives within the current conflict.

Both of these statements are, of course, rooted in wildly problematic stereotypes of Jewish people that are only a half step away from open antisemitism and conspiracism.

On that note, in 2002, the year before the newspaper spoof I mention in the OpEd, Gee was widely quoted as recruiting Jewish students because they would "make a university a much more habitable place in terms of intellectual life."
