these young white ('white'?) men jewish by any chance? feel like we're big mhmers
Odd thing one notices as an immigrant: the demographic of people who make encouraging audible "mhm" noises during US #philosophy talks are overwhelmingly young white men and African American women. I don't have any particular theory as to why this odd cultural commonality exists.

I don't think I do this during talks but I think I do it more than most in conversation and for some reason that's long felt like a Japanese thing.

But I definitely do reaction faces during talks and usually I feel alone in that

are you sure there are enough African American women in philosophy talks to make your observations reliable

My observations are definitely not reliable, but I’m also not going to talks at random and some of my interests mean I’m disproportionately selecting for events African American women in philosophy are likely to be at.
