Far right-wing crap couched in the language of leftism, but the piece is at is essence bigoted. The author is an academic. I encountered some of his type when I was in grad school. They believe women and people of color get unfair advantages, and the essence of their concern is a bemoaning of the demise of some of their privilege.

The article has nothing to do with Sanders. The OP has been promoting it for some time for his own purposes, which claim be plainly surmised from the content of the piece.
