Ah, I read that as saying that he hates discrimination against himself.

Who cares? It has absolutely no effect on you, while helping his group of people.

The world would be a better place if people worked on improving their own communities as much as they do policing to make sure nobody else is improving theirs.

>lack of diversity does not imply discrimination

If everyone is a blank slate and there is no genetic basis to intelligence, than yes, it does.

Their logic is correct, but it's based on a false premise. And if you call it into question, I sure hope you aren't dependent on having a job.

They aren't on the margins, at all. Sanders said that white men don't know what it's like to be poor, the Colombia mattress girl was invited to the State of the Union, the president of Harvard was fired for saying that men may have greater variance in genetic traits than women.

Hundreds of millions in federal funding is awarded for professors to talk about how we need to "abolish whiteness"; it's the dominant belief system in academics.

What do you mean? I've always found it telling that only one side of the argument wants to research it.

The average is actually 85, but yes.

I've asked this question probably two dozen times to various people, in as earnest and non-confrontational a manner as I can , and the only time I've been able to receive a response that departed from "You're a racist." was when I was told by my professor to leave the room.

I cannot figure out how to get an answer to this.

If the residents of the eastern side of your street were, on average, more intelligent, wealthy, and altruistic than those on the western side, while being frequently victimized by west side residents who proudly declared their resentment of easterners, then yes, I believe it would be in the eastern residents interest to form a community separate from the westerners.

If you knew that 99% of other NFL teams didn't want your team to hire a particular coach, would you see this as an indicator that he is a poor choice?

99% of the world benefits from the US making poor trade deals.

Sure, but there's a reason Trump was picked over the other Republicans in the primaries.

What benefit does the migrants/refugees bring?

As a white person, why would white nationalism not be in my interest?

Acceptable, sure, but I don't see how introducing a proxy would make our research more effective.

It could very well be the case that race is itself a factor for anti-social behavior.

Can you help me understand how my question is ridiculous?

The issue as I understand it is that having a discussion with a Trump supporter gives their views a platform and potentially exposes other people to them.

Arguments that wide-scale non-white immigration is detrimental to white societies, that the black-white IQ gap includes a non-zero genetic component, that biological differences exist between men and women, etc. cannot be refuted through rationalism, so we have to resort to other methods to prevent their spread.

Couldn't they just not take in immigrants? This seems like a false dichotomy.

I don't think that he's suggesting they have an "OBLIGATION" to remain neutral, but rather that he'd prefer they did.

Out of curiosity, do you also oppose non-flat taxation, affirmative action, minority-owned business contracting priorities, etc.?

"There Is Only the Fight...: An Analysis of the Alinsky Model"

The free stuff?

I think most libertarians have evolved into the alt-right. We're unlikely to see a non-socialist president again unless we halt Hispanic immigration.

How is "white flight" irrational?

And similarly, in a society in which biological differences exist between races, an objective, unbiased AI will be tend to be racist.

I didn't acknowledge your criticism of the source because it doesn't seem to reflect a look at the paper, let alone an earnest analysis of it. The response rate for the survey was explicitly stated as 20%, well in line with expected response rates for these sort of external surveys. Your figure of 7% seems to be invented whole cloth.

That, along with your characterization of my response as a "rhetorical strategy", makes it quite clear you don't have any interest in engaging in the topic critically.

To anyone reading, I encourage you to open the study, Ctrl-F for tptacek's "7%". Confirm for yourself whether or not he's being honest, and consider what that implies about our respective positions.

What would you recommend I use to evaluate the topic if not research studies?

Right. I have no idea whether it's a majority like it is with whites, but I would also disagree with a claim that very few men feel discriminated against.

Right, I'm aware. Most democracies do not have voter registration, but do have voter ID requirements.

This is the system you believe we should establish, on the basis that it's the international norm?

>international norms

You mean like voter ID requirements?

What is interesting about it? The poster clearly doesn't care for leftists, much in the same way you likely don't care for conservatives.

Before you respond "But that's a false equivalency because leftists are good and conservatives are bad" I beg you to search yourself for a speck of self awareness.

Obama is half white, half black. Sudanese people are a mix of Arabic and African.

Does the existence of gray disprove the notion that black and white are colors?
