- coldtea 7y agoStrawman arguments aren't "usually a hallmark of the intellectually honest" either. I didn't randomly invoke racism. I made an argument which you omit here: that the concept of punctuality is cultural and relative, and that the author's blanket "You Are Rude and Selfish" is thus racist. The same exact accusation has been used historically to create the "lazy" / "laid-back" black, middle eastern, latino, african, etc stereotype...
