      This rings true to me. Diversity may be a good thing, but endlessly singing its virtues may be a terrible mistake. https://www.theatlantic.com/magazine/archive/2017/07/the-democrats-immigration-mistake/528678/ …pic.twitter.com/vUrjbip5LN

      "Limit intolerance" or sweep things under the rug? Or just put a band-aid on a wound rather than try to heal it?

      No to intolerance! But emphasising diversity may not be the best method. Instead, try to push harder against discrimination.

      Yes. Trying to end discrimination means that nobody is penalised for their skin colour /gender etc. That's different from actively

      pushing for more people from 'diverse' bgs through incentives. (Whatever diversity means to you, and it could mean many things.)

      Problem with the latter is people can feel resentment that someone has been hired / given an incentive just to make things more 'diverse'.

      Then we talk to those folks about history, sociology, psychology, etc. We de-personalize but still account for structural inequalities.

      Yeah, but a lot of this stuff is unscientific crap put about by activist scholars. Doesn't really hold up. (Sorry to be blunt.)

      Also, this is pretty disparaging to whole fields and whole groups of people. Are you suggesting that one cannot be both activist & scholar?

      One can but its essential to make every effort to keep ideology out of scholarship & that isn't happening in certain fields right now.

          It's never happened, at any time, but that's the point of pushback through peer review & peer criticism. Not criticism from ignorance.

          Helen may not come from this field, but she has published pieces on some of these topics which have been admired/shared by serious thinkers.

          It is possible to intelligently criticise a field from without, and Helen is a very smart skeptical writer who is well up to that task.

          Well, thank you! But is there a specific subject under discussion? I thought we were talking about discourses around diversity?

          That's where it began, yes. I also complained about activist sociological research on bias.

          Well, yes. Jon Haidt has been particularly good on this. I'm currently collecting experiences of dissident sociologists on it for an essay.

          Since we're using anec-data in this debate, I'll just say that I disagree. I also think it's unreasonable to make such blanket claims.
