    It’s NYT. If you can’t defend Thompson as being worth keeping alive, may as well play the woke race card and say we only like him because he’s an attractive white male.

      NYT is a very conservative newspaper, they are only “woke” in the very shallowest sense when convenient to them.

      Knowing our history, it’s still funny to me that I-talians are considered plain ol’ white now.

        Whether or not Italians are white depends on what’s convenient to the people in power at the moment. Same goes for Jews
