but a nitpick Julio: that was written by a "correspondent" for the blog, racialicous which began its life as a front for a consulting business: a young woman who wanted to be hired by companies to improve their HR practices. That young woman has a career doing something along those lines now, or has become a writer. Not remembering the details. The point, though, is that she's now to busy for the blog and she's effectively passed on the blog to others.

In this case, Jessica Yee is a Canadian who describes herself thusly: "Indigenous feminist reproductive justice freedom fighter. Twenty-five years old and Two-Spirited from the Mohawk Nation." As editor of a book criticizing the academic industrial feminist complex or some such bullshit, she included an essay about being "class queer" - or queering class -- as a way of thinking about class mobility.

Jessica Yee, IOW, knows dick all about Bill Warren and appears to know dick all about a marxist analysis of class. likely, her forays into class have to do with speaking of rich people and accusing each other of class privilege and then saying, "but i'm not rich. i have 90k in student debt! I have an authentic voice from which to speak. how dare you say that I'm privileged. I am not!" blah blah blah.
