I was in Bangalore today and had a taxi driver turn to me and say, "you know what, throwaway894345 may be pro-Damore and spend rhetorical time trying to downplay the Jan 6 riots, but I'm sure that anecdote about a female colleague working in communications getting flak for not making the hand black is in no way a ridiculous straw man for his own sentiments." A bunch of leftist professors happened to overhear us as we were stopped at the curb and immediately threw down their Che shirts and began sobbing and clapping.
