    Adams believes that the Oberlin board’s denunciation of Joy Karega’s Facebook posts shows hypervigilance toward anti-Semitism and comparative indifference toward racial oppression.

      That's a good point.

    Is it a good point? The professor made clear negative comments toward a group of people. Is it fair to compare that to a societal trend? I'm pretty sure if a professor said something clearly negative toward another group they'd have been dealt with similarly. The comparison is apples and potatoes.
