He wasn't even trying to win an argument or refute anything.
Also that's one link. He inserts race into "everything"?
- briandear 10y agoLook at Anil's history of tweets, his politics, his obsession with race and just general snark. That one tweet actually did mean something "30 year old white dude." That IS the very definition of inserting race into a discussion unnecessarily. In 2012 he called me racist because I opposed Obama during the election; since I am white, automatically that made me racist, according to him. He's a jerk, at least in my opinion. I sure many people love the guy and of course they're entitled to such an opinion just as I am entitled to mine.
- statictype 10y agoThat IS the very definition of inserting race into a discussion unnecessarily. I was only trying to refute the accusation that he was racist. That seemed pretty absurd. Don't have anything to say about your position. I haven't spoken to him personally.

- hnbro 10y ago> That seemed pretty absurd ...why?
- statictype 10y agoIdentifying someone's race doesn't make you a racist. Observing that some races have historically enjoyed more or less privilege than others isn't racist either.
- hnbro 10y agothis is both reductive and a red herring.
