No, the point is that the author selectively presents information that bolsters the point she wants to make.
I'm pretty certain that if she searched for "<blank> girls" -- white girls, asian girls, etc. -- with safe search turned off, a good number of the results would be NSFW, because the internet is 75% porn (and 25% cat videos).
- jacquesm 9y agoSee the paragraphs titled 'beyond black girls' in TFA.
- ithilglin909 9y agoYes, I read the article. If anything, those paragraphs support what I just wrote.
- jacquesm 9y agoYou wrote "No, the point is that the author selectively presents information that bolsters the point she wants to make." and then claim the author supports your point? At best you are supporting hers. She made the case for the query 'black girls' and to pre-empt comments such as yours bolstered her argument by extending it to a general case. So in no way did she 'selective present information to bolster her point', she was as even handed as she could have been (but apparently not even handed enough for some).
- ithilglin909 9y agoNo, I'm saying that in the paragraph in question, she's half-admitting that she is selectively presenting information. That is all.
