Shades of the Sokal Text, but even better and more poetic.
The Daily Mail: Straight white author's career finally takes off after he tells woke publishers he's gender queer Nigerian
The hero of the story, Canadian poet Aaron Barry of Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada decided to do an experiment.
He decided to write absolute nonsensical poetry while using not just a pen name, but a poetic identity as a Nigerian gender-fluid auteur.
The change to a favored minority identity that checked multiple DEI-boxes worked.
It didn't just work well, it worked over and over again with over 50 gibberish poems published with 30 different publishers -- not for the poems merits -- but for the identity and "diversity" of the alleged author.
Yet another example of DEI seeking "diversity and identity" over merit - all in the name of equity, of course.
