Is The Anti-Racism Grift Collapsing?

A decade ago, a man in his 30s by the name of Henry Rogers was one of 32,000 faculty members working in the state university system of New York. Henry was an assistant professor, making a modest salary as he taught history classes to undergraduates. He wasn’t exactly lighting the academic world on fire, but he was doing pretty well, all things considered. Henry had graduated from high school with a GPA below 3.0, and SAT scores hovering around 1,000. With numbers like that, many students decide to pass on college entirely and for good reason. But here was Henry Rogers, *teaching* college students. He wasn’t simply going to college; he was educating the next generation. So he was something of an unexpected success story.

Nevertheless, despite the many blessings that were bestowed on him by affirmative action, Henry Rogers dreamed bigger. He didn’t want to be stuck at SUNY forever. He knew that if he wanted to make a lot of money and advance in academia, he needed a rebrand. You can only go so far with a white-sounding name like Henry Rogers in the American university system, especially in a state like New York. So in 2013, Henry Rogers changed his name.
