I also read his blog post and don't think context makes him seem more worthy of me taking him seriously.

A white student, labeled a “social justice warrior” — which is supposedly derogatory even though those three words in that order are definitionally a good thing — raised a complaint with the exam, noting that he was “shocked and disgusted” by the question. Fair enough. A minority student responded echoing the problems with the exam as structured, but also noted for the white students that “because it is not your experience, it is not your place to take charge of the dialogue without consulting the individuals who are actually impacted.”This is an important distinction. Yes, as discussed above, this isn’t really white struggle here. On the other hand, coming off a week where Shaun King accurately called out the inaction of white bystanders in the Schlossberg video who refused to exercise their relative privilege to do something about the tirade, this Texas student deserves credit for saying something. This is just one of those reminders that white people can and should be ready to say “that’s racist” but they can’t frame it as though they own that outrage. White people have to be comfortable with their role as the permanent sidekick of racial justice. Embrace being Robin on this one. Sometimes Batman needs help… usually Batman can handle it on his own.

Isn't part of being a lawyer defending people who are probably guilty and making arguments that probably aren't true?

Determing which audience you can alienate is an essential factor in successful marketing. This is something the antiPC crowd constantly talks about.

(which was not a wise decision moneywise IMO).
