Quote from: Brent on Today at 12:11:15 PMThis all part of progtards idea of diversity too.
Jacob Savage, a Los Angeles-based writer, looked at the phenomenon of the "vanishing white male writer" earlier this year in an eye-opening piece for Compact magazine.
He noted, for instance, that whereas the New York Times' "Notable Fiction" list included seven white American men under the age of 43 in 2012, not a single white male Millennial made the list in either 2021 or 2022. In each of the subsequent two years, only one individual from that particular demographic made the list.
Savage stressed that the Times' list was hardly exceptional in its exclusion of white Millennial men. Last year, nobody from that particular demographic was apparently featured in the year-end fiction lists for Vanity Fair, the Atlantic, and Vulture. Of the 53 Millennial fiction writers featured in Esquire magazine's year-end book lists since 2020, only one was a white American man.
Savage — who concluded in March that "white male Millennials are still unable to speak directly to their own condition" and that "in some ways that inability is their condition" — is back with another damning piece about the "lost generation" and the fallout of the DEI war on meritocracy.
At the outset of the article, Savage provided several indications that the world of literary fiction was not the only place where the institutionalization of DEI proved to be bad news for white men.
He noted, for instance, that white men represented 48% of lower-level TV writers in 2011 but only 11.9% last year. At Harvard, members of the same cohort held 39% of tenure-track positions in the humanities in 2014 but only 18% in 2023.
"In industry after industry, gatekeepers promised extra consideration to anyone who wasn't a white man — and then provided just that," wrote Savage.

Nearly every president from both parties has sold a big arms package to Taiwan.
