Why DEI Hires Keep Getting Caught for Plagiarism (& the Kamala Harris Plagiarism Controversy)

In this provocative video, Malcolm and Simone Collins delve into the recent plagiarism accusations against Vice President Kamala Harris and explore a broader trend of academic misconduct among DEI (Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion) officials. They discuss the apparent double standards in how these incidents are treated compared to similar cases involving non-DEI figures. The video also touches on broader political issues, media bias, and the current state of American democracy.

Malcolm Collins: Hello everyone! I'm excited to be here with you today! Recently, Kamala pulled a bit of a Mr. Bean in terms of trying to copy the test scores from somebody else.

Plagiarization.

We are going to go over this, but also a trend. I have noticed that all of these D. E. I. Individuals, these individuals who are in these positions of unearned power and authority due to their gender and ethnic background. Plagiarization scandals just seem to be happening over and over and over again at a really high rate.

So one, I want to document the phenomenon, and then I want to explore why the phenomenon might be happening, while also exploring the specific case that happened with Kamala Harris. And before I go into all of this, as somebody who has their background in the sciences, If [00:01:00] you are not a trained academic,

you might be like, plagiarization? What's the big deal there? In the sciences, historically speaking, it would be worse for your career to plagiarize something Then to grape someone.

Come here, kid! I'm gonna tie you to the radiator and grape you

Malcolm Collins: It was like, bore into me when I was studying in the sciences. It is better to like, in a testing environment, walk over, yank someone's test from their hands, and put it in the box.

We have after scribbling out their name and writing your own than it is to attempt to plagiarize And then there are even even within that there's different categories of plagiarization was the very highest bad category of plagiarization being plagiarization from wikipedia because that's Plagiarizing and plagiarizing like an idiot from the most obvious source

Speaker: originally called the Madison Square Garden. Is that from Wikipedia? No. [00:02:00] I just used it as a starting point to get a general idea, and then I went to scholarly sources. Show me your browser history! For unrelated reasons, I would actually prefer not to do that.

Simone Collins: Yeah with like the lowest form of offense being auto plagiarization which after being taught that in college I was like wait You

Malcolm Collins: Yeah, auto plagiarization can get you kicked out of school, but it's unlikely to, well, that could end your career.

Sorry, people might not know what auto plagiarization is. Auto plagiarization Apparently people

Simone Collins: don't care about cheating anymore.

Malcolm Collins: Yeah, people basically stop Well, when they realize that the rules might also apply to black women. Sorry, I, I don't mean to be too offensive there, but that's basically what happened.

They're like, oh, we've got this protected class. And sorry, when I say black women, I mean black women who progressives consider real black women, not conservative black women. The rules still apply to them because they don't have their black card anymore. As Biden said, if you don't vote for us, you ain't black.

So I'm not saying black women as in women whose skin color is black. I'm saying black women TM. You know, the, the, the ones who agree [00:03:00] with all of the mainstream progressive opinions,

Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx): I realized I forgot to describe what unapproved realization is. , autoplay authorization is when you plagiarize yourself. So an example of where someone I knew got in trouble for this is they had written a fan fiction. And they had posted it on a fanfiction website and then later they took parts of it and incorporated it into a story that they were publishing was in a college context. And the college plagiarism checker found their own fanfiction and said, look, you plagiarized from this and proving that they had written it and did nothing to help their case, that they. had plagiarized and it was counted by the school rules as an official. , plagiarism and it's wild to me that, you know, historically. If you were white, you can get kicked out of school.

You know, college have your entire life ruined over this. And yet, you know, When you aren't. It's considered hardly an issue at all. And I think the reason why people aren't freaking out about this is everybody knows. Everybody knows it's not a real thing.

Like, that's why they're like, oh, it wasn't some major violation [00:04:00] because we all knew that

If you look like Kamala Harris, you're allowed to do this.

Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-1: ADV. You're like, oh, but what about Trump's felony conviction? The problem is, is that actually for defies the point I'm making here rather than undermines it, the people who view. Trump's felony conviction as a strike on him at versus further edifying him in the eyes of the masses. I think our people who have intentionally not engaged with information around the case. , just so you know, A bit of background here. , the case was a, , around falsifying business records, which is a misdemeanor in New York.

And yet novel legal theory was applied to make it a felony where they tried to argue that, , Because it could be made a felony of falsifying business records was done and do cover up another crime, except it wasn't done very clearly to cover up another crime. , and they just basically made up without specifying what that other crime was that it was being done to, And cover up another crime, by the way, if you're wondering.

Oh, well, I mean [00:05:00] he did falsify business records and didn't, he will even, that's a little vague. So the case was specifically in regards to Michael Cohen, paying $130,000 in hush money to stormy Daniels and a series of monthly checks. , and Michael Cohen had to organize this. So Trump would pay him legal fees and then he would take those legal fees. And pay stormy Daniels.

But, he had told Trump like, so imagine this is you, your lawyer tells you, oh, this is the legal way to do a payment, to keep somebody quiet and you go along with it. And then later that person turns on you. And all of a sudden it says, oh, this isn't a legal way to do it. It's not like this was Trump's idea or something like that.

He was just doing what his lawyer told him to.

Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-2: And more than that. , what do you even expect him to do? Like write down. Hush money to prostitute, , in his legal documentation. And if you're like, well, I mean, this is all Dan and stream of Trump's own sexual impropriety. Well, [00:06:00] here's the problem. You, you then could be like Kamala Harris is a. This is a symbol of a virtue.

And it's like, well, not, not really. , if you look at her first major job, it was when she, a 20 year old was sleeping with a 60 year old who got her that job

Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-3: And has admitted on record that the fact that they were dating, influenced him. Giving her these positions, which allowed her to get her first major prosecutor job.

Microphone (Wireless Microphone Rx)-1: but again, this is a great example, you know, , even if you do something that's not a felony. If you, , look like Trump and our Republican, then it's a felony. , and it is just. A ridiculous amount of bigotry and double standards at this point.

Malcolm Collins: By the way, you know
