Refusing this line of inquiry is itself a principled intellectual position. The structure of such questions invariably confirm the biases of the interrogators. The “evidence” is then typically levied against groups without respect to the individual, as it was in my understanding of the CR. There is only false intellectualism in this manner of social pseudoscience.
- lmm 5y agoRefusing all inquiries into group statistics might be a principled intellectual position. Collecting data about some metrics at the group level (salaries, college admissions, ...) and then refusing to inquire about other attributes that might reasonably affect those metrics certainly isn't, for all the reasons you've just given.
