Northwestern academics have accused students of ‘fascism’ after they said they identified as ‘Apache attack helicopters’ on a survey about engineering culture.
The researchers claimed the far-right was on the rise across the US after seeing the students’ replies to the questionnaire.
They claimed the responses were ‘malicious’ and a sign of white supremacy, which they then wrote about in a paper titled ‘Attack Helicopters and White Supremacy: Interesting Malicious Responses to an Online Questionnaire about Transgender Undergraduate Engineering and Computer Science Student Experiences’.
The researchers wrote the paper describing their experiences working on the survey about LGBT students in STEM fields.
They said the ‘backlash’ to the project ‘reflects characteristics of contemporary far-right or fascist political movements in the US, such as the synthesis of antisemitism with anti-Black and anti-feminist rhetorics.’
According to a report in the College Fix, about one-quarter of the so-called ‘malicious responses’ to the survey provided some airplane-related response to the gender question, including a handful who specifically identified as an ‘Apache helicopter.’

Claiming these obviously mocking responses were ‘malicious’ signs of white supremacy indicates these researchers identify as fortunetellers. ABN
