The fields of social "science" are having an existential crisis. It's not science if you can't reproduce it:

> Frequently people act like being called racist is worse than actually perpetuating racism and that needs to change.
Calling someone a racist when they're not is just as bad as perpetuating racism. This is why people perceive your argument to be a personal attack, because it is.
> There is no process to engage in that sort of growth in character without promoting some level of discomfort.
If you're unwilling to question your own assumptions and experience discomfort, then you are also not growing in character.
- naravara 8y ago>Calling someone a racist when they're not is just as bad as perpetuating racism. Is this satire? Are you sincerely claiming that actually doing something bad is worse than being told you're doing something bad? This is child logic. This is logic that privileges your feelings over actual objective reality.
