I cant believe any of these got funding...

I particularly like this one from just down the street:
4) Taylor Swift and Miley Cyrus Perform “White Authenticity”

Communications Prof. Rachel E. Dubrofsky at the University of South Florida says: “Cyrus and Swift operate in a post racial context where people of color and racialized aesthetics are featured, but where race itself is unimportant, and racism is a thing of the past.”

Professor Dubrosky has been interviewed for her expertise for articles on topics such as “hipster racism” and “hate watching The Bachelor.”

It's like that stupid literature professor or teacher that over analyzes the intent of the author or artist when they wrote a book, story, or song. Just dumb.

Her name is professor dumb-broad-ski? Is this an onion article?
