I have not seen this, at least on a large scale. Are there specific events you are referencing?
- Consultant32452 6y agoI don't think "not on a large scale" is a good argument. Small groups of people can be incredibly powerful. The people who founded our country could all fit in the same room together.
- lghh 6y agoYeah but the people who found the United States were in much more powerful positions than some college students, for example.
- Consultant32452 6y agoThat argument is outdated by a decade or so. Sure, there's still some college students, but the ones from a decade ago now work in the big tech firms, NYT, etc.
- thu2111 6y agoe.g. basically all social science that investigates differences in ability/outcomes between genders or races is explicitly rejected by the left on the grounds that it's sexist/racist.
