"But by characterizing both sides as biased, this article equates the real threat of racialized violence with the discomfort of being called a racist and asked to stop...The New York Times must take care to avoid false equivalencies in which, in the spirit of fairness, resistance is portrayed as abuse."

--"Donald Trump on Campus," letter to the editor by Allison Jamieson-Lucy, The New York Times
