      Theoretical in the sense of postcolonial othering? I looked at Margery Kempe thru Kristevan psych which mirrors theology.

      In what way? I'm curious how it could go wrong as it's presumably just a process of using it as method to explain action?

      Apparently, I personally sentenced women to an awful destiny of being judged by appearance by suggesting this is natural.

          And by arguing that racism is not innate (tho tribalism is) &can be overcome by alliances,I was distressing African Americans

          Even if feelings of African American anti-racists had any bearing on cognitive mechanisms in brain, do they claim it innate?

          I'm quite sure critical race theory claims racism to be culturally constructed & this seems to be correct.

          Ha. Well, that sounds like evolutionary biology to me and seems like good evidence for it is readily available.

          Indeed. I cited much of it. Also pointed out that men are destined to be judged by status & resources.

          Was this tied into a particular historical context or just a general observation/reminder?

          I did an evolutionary psychological reading of Othello & urged the humanities to make use of evo psych.
