    I particularly dislike 'white, male rationalism', not because it insults white men but because it insults everyone else. It revives the old sexist, imperialist ideas that women & non-white men are irrational but now it reassures us that this is a good thing. Stop helping.https://twitter.com/EnlghtnmntLibrl/status/1003826339504275458 …

        And 'You criticise SocJus approaches because you don't experience social injustice' is just lazy. You need to look at *why* people who overwhelmingly support gender/racial/LGBT equality are criticising this particular approach to it.

        yes, they do - Diversity and Racism/Sexism argues that you can make up judgment about the people on basis of skin color, gender, and other factors - otherwise Companies like Google would not make a point of hiring women and black people but would search for other qualities...

        This argument made me make this face in real life 😒 The idea is that because of historical discrimination, most areas of academia and innovation are biased towards white people. Diversity and inclusion ensures that more than just white (male) people get to participate.

        Discrimination is actually justified when it's the other way around because black and brown people cannot fit into Western and Eastern civilizations. Sam Harris approve this (even though he say sometimes that it's irrelevant, weird). You should know that since you follow him.

        I assume your saying a particular type of "white, male, rational thought" is the problem. Not white males who are rational?

        Lumping all ‘white’ men together as if they share some form of collective identity makes as much sense as saying all Sagittareans think the same. And if you say all Sagittareans DO think the same, then I think we’ve spotted the problem.

        I think it's hilarious myself; it's one of the cues that tells me I don't need to take the person saying it seriously. Especially if they, well, aren't. One of those "did you hear what you just said?" moments.
