If I've already shared this @HPluckrose essay on postmodernism, PC left & post-truth right, it's worth sharing againhttps://areomagazine.com/2017/03/27/how-french-intellectuals-ruined-the-west-postmodernism-and-its-impact-explained/ …

My one quibble was Othello and race -- text has many passages that overtly refer to skin color prejudice, even if not as strong as later
-
Iago even hints to Othello that Desdemona is sexually untrustworthy b/c her interracial attraction to him suggests perverted appetites
-
And her father suggests she's been bewitched. But the duke replies that his status & reputation & history would attract any woman.
-
Which is essentially my argument, drawing on Haidt, that racial difference can be overcome easily by shared aims.
