Speaking of learning, you might want to take the time to seriously consider which side of that divide you're on. What actual science tells us, rather than what scientific racism contends..is that the "differences between the races" are socially constructed, not biologically useful categorizations. This, again, is why studies on income and iq control for those known effects of GxE. There is no need, on the side of pc or sj (or anyone) to contend that there are no differences between the races..because the fact of that matter is that those differences are utterly superficial, related to the tone of our skin and little else (even that association is shaky as hell, lol). But, ofc, when a person acknowledges the reality of those differences as we can demonstrate them, those who leverage the phrase "difference between the races" have something much more elaborate and unfounded in mind.
There is no other purpose for scientific racism, which is neither scientific nor accurate, than to provide ideological cover for bigotry. None.
There is no purpose, other than to oppose those who oppose that bigotry, for claiming that the contents of scientific racism are shouted down out of ideological inconvenience, none.
I understand that you feel unfairly maligned for repeating the normalizing language of white supremacy...and maybe, all the way over there in korea..you really don't grasp what it is, where it comes from, or the effect that it has - but no one forces you to do this, say this, maintain these things, or die on this hill. The only person maligning you, or stigmatizing you (there again white victimization rears it's hilarious head)...is you. You've been given reams of information at this point, both about the specific contention you're losing your shit over, and it's intersection with alt right politics, institutional policy, and a resurgent white supremacy. You can dig yourself out of this hole. Or, at least, I'd like to believe that you can.
Or you can opt to attempt a preservation of pride, to drag out some argument between you and I, to bullshit me and yourself about some dollar bills, about the pc left, and social justice, about guys like peterson, about racism.
It's always been your call.
