The Intercollegiate Review seems very special, as this John C. Wright essay on Heinlein and the scourge of political correctness demonstrates. Note that when Wright says

Orson Scott Card publicly expressed the mildest imaginable opposition to having judges overrule popular votes defining marriage in the traditional way.

he is probaly referring to this essay, in which OSC opines

Because when government is the enemy of marriage, then the people who are actually creating successful marriages have no choice but to change governments, by whatever means is made possible or necessary.

I note that his historical revisionism approaches Matt Harrington levels when he comments on Beale - both in his completely-nonsensical reasoning for expulsion (that has nothing to do with the ACTUAL reasons) and his bizarre claim that Beale isn't openly, proudly racist.

The replies I've seen to the last one are that Beale was only responding to Jemisin's equally bad racism against white people, and why aren't people talking about that blah blah blah.

I don't remember her going after a class of people like that, but I may not have been wearing my Secret Decoder Glasses when I read her remarks.

I didn't exactly inquire further, but my guess would be that this is a particularly tinhatted interpretation of Jemisin's WFC (?) speech about not feeling comfortable in fandom as a PoC.

I suspect somehow that Wright or Beale might feel a tad uncomfortable in a group made up almost entirely of PoC. Would they consider that evidence that they are racist?
