Temple University's President Doesn't Know These Kids
from India vs. Pakistan, Portnoy, & Jennifer Aniston’s Stalker | The Tim Dillon Show #443 · #443
4 min
Tim mocks the university president's obligatory disavowal statement, joking he'd hang up the phone if asked about a random student's antics, and riffs on how large the school is.
- Tim argues that constantly talking about discrimination only manifests more of it, making it visible everywhere.
- The only way to defeat bigotry is to ignore it, which is the hardest thing in the world to do.
- Tim's example: if someone called him a slur and he spent three weeks talking about it, that doesn't make the problem go away.
- Ignoring bigotry and pretending it's not real causes it to lose its power and makes people tune out.
- You don't have to defend the whole Jewish people—they can handle themselves, unlike Dave Portnoy acting as their guardian.
- Tim questions how long this needs to go on, asking how many press conferences are necessary over one idiot student.
- The kid got suspended by Temple University, which Tim notes isn't even a good school.
- Tim asks if anyone thought the president of Temple University was actually against condemning anti-semitism.
