Yep. You can really tell how hard they're grasping at straws with stuff like this:
>If a founder fails, tech discourse interprets it as a sign of young vigor. In a country in which twenty-five-year-old white rapists are “still boys” and black twelve year-olds on the playground “look like adults,” the question of who gets to be a kid and who counts as a grown-up is clearly charged with privilege.
Just have to shoehorn race in somehow, adding an entire paragraph to the article that is nothing more than filler.
- CalChris 7y agoThe writer makes his point about privilege with a parallel and examples, even if it's an uncomfortable point made in an uncomfortable way. Hardly filler. It builds an argument for his conclusion about double standards.
