Is There Anything Today That Isn’t Racist?

Eager for any excuse to tear down what’s left of our civilization, the woke Left has taken to declaring almost everything to be “racist.” As we read in this Daily Mail story, one Natalia Petrzela, a history teacher at the New School in Manhattan, has written a book entitled Fit Nation.

Her argument is that the fitness craze in America has its roots in a desire for white supremacy. White people decided to increase their fitness long ago because they figured it would help them have more children and thus remain on top.

Where would a teacher get such a silly idea? A clue might be found in Petrzela’s eduction: B.A. from Columbia, master’s and Ph.D. from Stanford.

In woke circles, it’s an easy path to fame: Just make some groundless assertions about the evils of a free society and you’ll be a star.
