What if positive discrimination triggers retaliatory bias? Have you really done more good than harm?
Positive discrimination is like bombing a village known to harbor terrorists. Sure, you may kill some terrorists and drive the rest underground. You'll also radicalize a bunch of villagers. Suddenly ideas that used to be relegated to the lunatic fringe are going mainstream.
Sound anything like the US political situation in 2018?
- intended 8y agoNope. Evidence and facts dont support the retaliatory bias position - retaliatory bias is currently too insignificant a force in comparison to previous systemic or societal biases. Maybe if we lived in a highly equitable society in the first place, the position would make sense - the forces would be more relatively matched. Currently, all things being equal - the systemic biases are far more significant and harmful to society as a whole.
