    I didnt see this as deer caught in headlights. I didnt get the impression that he even realized he was running in circles so hes either incredibly dumb, or shameless and also quite composed in public speech hope the audience was mortified thohttps://twitter.com/JohnHMcWhorter/status/1399670923221946372 …

    In which academic discipline is this circular, naive, deer-caught-in-the-headlights response to a basic and urgent question considered insightful or excellent? A national culture exempting this (which, sadly, is typical of him) from judgment is unintentionally racist itself. pic.twitter.com/n493NpjFmx

        He undermines his own grift here. If you try to overlook the circularity, he's basically saying only politicians/managers/business owners can practice racism. If your actions can't generate "inequity" you're not being racist, even if you're racist. You love to see it

        I love the "anybody wanna take a guess" he slipped in. He's totally unprepared for a world that isn't a room of 18 yo freshmen who don't have to nod at any nonsense to get their A. We should all be mortified that many academics are like this

        Couldn't he just omit it to convey the exact same point? "Racist: Proponents of policies & systems that lead to in-equity" I think this would be isomorphic to his views (as I understand them) and doesn't run in circles. Whether it's useful or right, is another question.

        The moderator's pause before the nervous laughter is a dead giveaway. This is an emperor has no clothes situation.

        can't define a term more precisely than with the term itself not so great for when playing taboo, though
