    I’d long suspected this, more so after CFI merged with ⁦@rdfrs⁩, but to see ⁦@center4inquiry⁩’s obliviousness on issues of race & racist pseudoscience so starkly described by ⁦@ksenapathy⁩ is depressing to me as a longtime CFI supporter.https://undark.org/2020/02/20/center-for-inquiry-race-pseudoscience/ …

        Seriously, I keep hearing leaders of skeptical groups bemoan their inability to attract a more diverse membership and asking why they can’t. The problems listed in the article above are a huge reason why.

        Insensitivity to matters of racism and misogyny is the first of these reasons. CFI leadership doesn’t even try to talk a good game on this score. Why would women and people of color support an org that’s dismissive of what’s important to them? Why *should* they?

        Here’s hoping that @center4inquiry, @rdfrs, and @RBlumner, instead of reacting defensively, take @ksenapathy’s article as an opportunity to reflect and open a genuine dialogue.

        This is why I turned away from the "skeptics movement". If anything, their misogyny is worse then their racial insensitivity ... because it appears deliberate. I stopped following both orgs pre-merger -- 4 years ago or so.

        Local chapters, like @CFImichigan, can still be awesome, even if the national org needs a kick in the pants.

        People get into the skeptic/atheist movements for different reasons. Unfortunately one major reason is the dopamine hit of feeling smarter than the hoi polloi and making new friends to feel smart with. That group is particularly susceptible to racist pseudoscience.

        That is true, and certainly all of us have felt that rush at one time or another. That wasn’t why I got in, but I see how easy it could be to live for the buzz of feeling smarter.
