> According to WBAA, Thomas Roach, chair of the faculty senate,
criticized both Keon's apology and the school's Board of
Trustees for accepting it:
>
> The fact they [the Board of Trustees] accepted the apology is
almost as bad as what he said in the first place. The Asian
community has been saying for years that they are being
discriminated against, and they’ve also been saying everybody
tolerates descrimination against Asian Americans. Here we have
this discriminatory remark and the Board of Trustees saying ‘no
big deal.’”

> A Change.org petition by students also demanding the
chancellor's resignation has reached 4,991 signatures at the
time of this writing.

> NC State football and men's basketball play-by-play announcer
Gary Hahn has been suspended indefinitely after making an
offensive comment about immigrants and the city of El Paso, per
Luke Decock of The News & Observer.
>
> Per that report, Hahn was announcing the score of the Sun Bowl
during the broadcast of the Duke's Mayo Bowl between Maryland
and NC State when he said, "amongst all the illegal aliens down
in El Paso it's UCLA 14 and Pittsburgh 6."

Hahn also looks like what we would expect:

Scott Adams’ racist rant: Letter from the Editor

racist rant this week on his Coffee with Scott Adams online
video show, and we will no longer carry his comic strip in The
Plain Dealer.

> This is not a difficult decision.

Rasmussen survey which, he said, shows nearly half of all Black
people do not agree with the phrase “It’s okay to be white.”

organization and the community we serve. We are not a home for
those who espouse racism. We certainly do not want to provide
them with financial support.

> Adams’ reprehensible statements come during Black History
Month, when The Plain Dealer has been publishing stories about
the work being performed by so many to overcome the damage done
by racist decisions and policy.
>
> We’re not the first newspaper to drop Dilbert. Last year,
according to The Daily Beast, 77 newspapers published by Lee
Enterprises dropped it after Adams introduced his first Black
character, apparently to poke fun at “woke” culture and the
LGBTQ community. We are part of Advance Local, and the leaders
in all Advance Local newsrooms independently have made the same
decision we did to stop running the strip. That includes
newspapers in Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, New Jersey,
Alabama, Massachusetts and Oregon.

--- Quote ---
> French retailer Carrefour inaugurated on Tuesday 50 stores in
Israel, becoming the first foreign supermarket chain with
branches in the country whose residents struggle with a high
cost of living.
>
> "It's a very big day for Carrefour," CEO Alexandre Bompard
said at the inauguration of a supermarket in the central Israeli
city of Raanana.
>
> "We know that the expectations for Carrefour Israel are high,
and we want to live up to those expectations... We want to do
that with affordable prices."
> ...
> Bompard said the company was also looking to develop a range
of kosher products to cater to Israel's Jewish majority.
>
> In a video released Monday by his office, Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu is seen at one of the new branches, calling
Carrefour's entry into the Israeli market "great news" that will
bring lower prices for local consumers.
>
> Carrefour announced in March 2022 it had partnered with
Israeli retailer Electra Consumer Products and its subsidiary,
supermarket chain Yenot Bitan.

> Uber has placed its longtime head of diversity, equity and
inclusion on leave after workers complained that an employee
event she moderated, titled “Don’t Call Me Karen,” was
insensitive to people of color.
>
> Dara Khosrowshahi, Uber’s chief executive, and Nikki
Krishnamurthy, the chief people officer, last week asked Bo
Young Lee, the head of diversity, “to step back and take a leave
of absence while we determine next steps,” according to an email
on Thursday from Ms. Krishnamurthy to some employees that was
viewed by The New York Times.
> ...
> workers instead felt that they were being lectured on the
difficulties experienced by white women and why “Karen” was a
derogatory term and that Ms. Lee was dismissive of their
concerns

Lee also looks like what we would expect:

Let's hope Uber is willing to fire her altogether.
