I wouldn't even say that overall this isn't well-intended. But if you don't think that straight white rich Christian males aren't vilified as a group, then you might not think the sun is yellow, either.Tell me more about the stigmitization of whites.
As for points in which I "haven't been utterly and inescapably wrong," I'd say that 100% of my points meet that criterion. You, obviously, disagree. I think you are wrong to do so.
Quote:Well, I've never claimed white victimhood. This is your straw man, and your attempt at guilt by association of ideas. I say anything that even remotely sounds like I'm both (a) white; and (b) discontent with any interactions with black people (or gay people or whatever), and you are perfectly satisfied to generalize that specific complaint to some sort of over-arching complex. But that is exactly the point, isn't it, that that's what the PC Left do?I'm not commenting on you saying white sounding things...lol. I've been fairly explicit about how this particular narrative was framed. I've linked and discussed it's history, it's present, it's use, the manner in which it weaseled it's way into the mainstream, and the simple fact that otherwise unaligned people repeat it ad naus. You're one of those people. Now, you can pretend this thread doesn't exist..or that we've never had similar discussions..or that, somehow, I'm just making all this shit up and it's not a thing (kinda like white privilege, lol)......but how many times do people have to mistake you for a horse before you invest in a saddle?
You swallowed the koolaid. Peterson is just one flavor...but I suspect that you've taken sips from more than just that one cup.
Quote:My anxiety is about the effect of irresponsible and bad workers doing damage to my business-- not because they are black, or gay, or left-wing, but because they are using their identity demographics as an excuse not to do what is right-- according to the terms of a contract which they've signed.-which has nothing to do with pc or sj issues, unless you're running a sweatshop and say casually racist things without realizing it. That is the only way for you to run afoul of the leftist extremists here, Benny. Waking up white in the morning doesn't exactly cut it.
Quote:That you keep trying to make this about demographics is YOUR thing, not mine. The point of PC is this demographic view, and I have very consistently argued in favor of individual merit and responsibility as the metric that should matter.It probably would surprise you to find that the "individual merit and responsibility" bit is a part of the common complex in relation to opposition to pc or sj issues, huh? The whole reason for pc or sj anything to exist..is that people are -not- being treated based upon their individual merit or responsibility.
