    I dunno. I was a young man on 9/11, and the general vibe seemed to be that anyone who wanted to hate anyone from the middle east was not facing any pushback.

          Im not saying that didn’t happen but it’s very surprising, I never experienced that in Seattle. In Seattle academia/institutions, theu usually doubled down on diversity rhetoric, and I’ve yet to see anyone push back on it.
