- juliangoldsmith 9y agoSo, don't allow yourself to be manipulated by guilt over something you have no power over? That seems reasonable to me.

- juliangoldsmith 9y agoIt's not ignorance, it's rejection of the concept.
- AlexCoventry 9y agoNo, it's rejection of the concept that he needs to pay attention to it.
- juliangoldsmith 9y agoI wouldn't expect someone who rejects the premise of structural inequality to pay attention to structural equality.
- AlexCoventry 9y agoHe actually doesn't reject the premise. He throws around a lot of chaff about other characteristics on which to distinguish people, without addressing the issue that the groups he's ridiculing postmodernists and marxists for being concerned about actually do suffer structural inequality, then ends by saying that he's not obliged to care about the historical circumstances which have favored him in the development of that inequality.
