Name one racist thing he said.
In 2020, it doesn't matter. They went after him and will go after all that disagree with them.
You are not being honest here, are you?
it's not about whether one should protest for BLM in a pandemic.
part of the accusation is that he drew a parallel between a kay kay kay gathering and a BLM protest.
how many are OK with that?
What happened?He disagrees with the 'protesting during a pandemic is good' narrative. Also, someone found an old blog entry of his were he says that the anthem is not the time and place to kneel. Some well known economists are publicly calling on him to resign as editor of JPE.
PS I don't agree with him on the second thing, but he should be able to say these things!
Irrespective of his racism, he also dismisses any colleagues who disagree with him. That's not professional at all. If Brave means making your own position untenable, he is indeed brave.
Anti-German bias. Many ppl in discipline are harsh. American economicst don't want foreigner in their upper ranks. Hate Euros.
Agree. So let’s write a letter in defense of free speech and set up a google forms? Even so, we all sing it anonymously symbolizing the ultimate form of free speechz
First, big names should come out of cover, in public, defending public speech in the profession. No need mentioning U.
