> The content of a true fact is irrelevant to the motivation behind someone focusing on that true fact to the exclusion of others. You seem to confuse a true fact being ‘racist’ with the potential racial bias behind a motivation to share it.
- skindoe 6y agoThe problem is that the motivation is unfalsifiable. You cannot assume ones motives when talking about the facts. In addition motivation is a nonsequitor that is mainly used as distraction from the real discussion. If you're first response to these facts is to question the motives of the person presenting them then you are the problem.
