I haven't read them, but I understand the basic ideas. When I hear how awful intersectionality is I wonder what definition is being used 1/-

I've spent 2yrs reading about the intersection between class & race in the US. So am I supposed to give up? Ignore it? 2/3

That's up to you. Sunk-cost fallacy isn't a good reason to keep using it but that doesn't mean there isn't one.

There is a good reason. Data. But before we get to discussing that it's rejected by many because intersectional. Which is bad.

I'm not saying it is. It's data. I get a different picture if I look at general employment data vs race specific data for example.

OK, well that's evidence then. Don't need critical theory for that. I'm not sure where this is going but I need to go to bed. :)

My point is there's an issue. What caused it? How do we address it? Before we even get to that we're met with resistance.

First I'm virtue signaling because I'm white. Then it's identity politics. The it's intersectional. All I want to do is look at the issue.

We all know the difficulties of honest conversation, Martin. All we can do is try to encourage more productive ones.
