This is a very thoughtful and balanced commentary on recent events, and I think everyone should take heed of @AlanJay1's view of the situation, not least as he is a member of an underrepresented group within our community. His lack of conclusion seems fitting.https://twitter.com/AlanJay1/status/1170962788929245184 …

That would be true, but what premise are you referring to?
In this tweet, https://twitter.com/AlanJay1/status/1170962801176846337?s=19 … I trust that @AlanJay1 feels a sense of concern much more acutely than I do. I find his perspective valuable.

Of course his perspective is valuable. But not because of the color of his skin! And that isn't a premise of his argument, it's his motivation. An argument doesn't stand or fall on its motivation but its validity.

I don't doubt that you're arguing in good faith, and yes: motivation doesn't change validity of an argument, but being part of a minority undoubtably helps you better notice and understand issues like inclusivity and discrimination, which is central to the 2016 criticism of JdG.
