This post will respond briefly the condensed Op-Ed

1. What evidence supports that these items cannot be debated? It appears that they are being debated. 

2. As noted one may have the right to point out you are a racist  but that doesn’t make it right to do so. How did you come to that conclusion? I have come to that it is right to point out truth as I perceive and live it and we have the opportunity to debate and decide whether your language is a ‘dog whistle’. 

3. Why do you elevate your social norms to be the social norms? This relates, in part, to #1, under my view, you have suffered no consequences due to your political incorrectness, so is this second rebuttal simply because your feelings were hurt that your colleagues won’t have a spot of tea with you? 

From my viewpoint, you are in control and have the backing of media, political institutions, academic institutions and the current federal administration so the power to change the discourse lies with you. There are no crocodile tears for your ‘plight’
