No Job 5 months after graduating.

I have a feeling that academia is cartelised. A few elite professors from the field dominating the editorial boards and search committees.

Quote From AndrewPetelov:Moonblue I don't bother to explain how blind and biased you are. I wonder how you even publish (if at all) with total absence of analytic thinking.[/quote] Oh the irony... It seems to me that it is not really me who lacks English here, but some of you. I repeat the last time: I said about my personal feelings being in ONE CERTAIN group full of people of equal identity IN TERMS OF COMPARISON with another position. This has nothing to do with actually being politically correct. You may be correct, but no regulation can ever remove your deep private feelings in some regard. If you look at a pile of feces, you almost surely loathe it, even though the regulation might be telling you you have to fall in love with it and kiss it. I understand you very well: you are telling us that you really dislike one particular group of people, but that's ok because it's your personal feelings and therefore there's nothing you can do about it. Of course these are your 'personal feelings', what else would they be! And you actually can do something about them, you know, if you really wanted to. There is nothing inevitable about those prejudices, you were not born with them. But tackling them would require a great deal of determination, understanding and analytical thinking which you may not be ready for yet. I repeat, if you hold those views you should not be working in a university, potentially with students and colleagues who come from that group. If those views get you into trouble with those regulations, saying that they are just your personal, private feelings won't wash as a defence. [quote] And yet again: Fled is just a mentally unstable hysterical person. I wonder how such people even teach Oh, Fled comes across as very mentally stable and in no way hysterical. But I reckon I'm just wasting my time here.

Keep in mind this is a discussion forum for professionals and postgraduate level students—not the comments section for YouTube videos.

No, in my opinion it is not. Germans and French can be considered as the same race. How can you be racist if you restrict your disregard to one single country? He never mentioned any other countries. He is maybe hostile to Koreans or Indians or whatever, but that does not make you a racist in my eyes. This whole debate gets a bit out of hand. In your opinion. Official/legal definitions vary and may include ethnicity and nationality. E.g. in British law the phrase racial group means "any group of people who are defined by reference to their race, colour, nationality (including citizenship) or ethnic or national origin". In any case, it's ignorant bigotry that has no place in any university. Those views (no matter if they are 'just your personal opinion') would land you in very hot water in any reputable university - and so they should.

Ma'am you're in your period now? I apologize if I might have hurt your fragile feelings. And as regards this quote, words (almost) fail me. You really think there's a place for people with that attitude in academia?

You're not coming across very well here, Andrew. I would certainly not want to work with somebody who has your opinions or your approach. Your post to Fled listing facts about him/her that you have gleaned from posts on other threads was out of order and frankly a bit weird and stalkery. That sort of behaviour is not acceptable in academia or indeed on online forums.

Quote From Fled:
Hey I will accept any action against me for my language and less than gentle approach to the situation as I found it...but to single out my family and imply what ever you were implying is now on another level. I don't play when it comes to those things.
Ok Andrew, since you are adamant.....what exactly did you mean that you were 'repelled by the national content' of the hiring committee? Do you not realize that those 'personal' feelings will come into play where ever you work? Regardless you will ALWAYS be faced with diversity...so according to you...you will be constantly repelled...so explain to me how that is not bigoted? How can someone with that predisposition be an effective educator in 2015???????????? How can you not see that this is not racism? If you hate Germans but have no problem with French, then you are not racist. So what has this all to do with diversity or racism? Of course his statement was stupid, but I don't really get why you have to be so super aggressive and provoking all the time. Just relax. We live in free countries with a freedom of speech. Just deal with it.

You think attempts to de-anonymise people will be acceptable by the moderators, AndrewPetelov? I doubt it. Whether you first mentioned it or not, you're the one that attempted it, and you did it because it was the only underhanded tactic you had. Most of us on this forum don't conduct ourselves in such a manner, and we would prefer that others didn't either.
