      As if the value of attitudes outweighs value to victims of racism to be able to label actors racists feels like crap

      Probably the intent is to tell elite whites not to sneer at non elite whites? And maybe that's a claim but I can read too and I'm here

      So I assume I'm the reader and the claim doesn't hold for me. And yeah maybe then whites start virtue signaling but that's not on me

      Anyway racism isn't attitudes, politics can happen without a come to Jesus talk, & hearts usually change after material conditions change

      Again, with all due respect to the fields of psychology and social psych. But honestly I think even they'd agree with me here in part

      That is exactly the finding. Behavior can change without attitude/belief, and if anything behavior precedes belief change.

      The problem is "road to Damascus" conversion is a better movie, so many assume that's the norm/only path.

      Yeah. Trying to convince people either way in a vacuum. Ay, ay, ay. Change incentives & expectations over long term. Maybe.

      Also many never change core beliefs and revert *if* incentives shift back. Hearts and minds is not as strong as one hopes.

      Classic study on in KKK-neo-nazis etc. People also construct post-hoc conversion stories. http://gas.sagepub.com/content/10/6/680.full.pdf …pic.twitter.com/QldOSJ4xlh

          IMO, why "political correctness"—not the caricature but social unacceptability of outright racism—is good. Aligns incentives.

          Agree to a point--but isn't that also fragile? Inadequate? Trump won partly as a power move to weaken that social unacceptability.

          This Nazi Sh%t is getting into the minds of our children that it's ok to be anti American.
