I feel that throwing in little quipits like that are an easy way to keep the discussion about your article as non-political as possible. It seems counter-intuitive, but if someone comes along and actually brings up the race issue, and it isn’t mentioned in the article, it’ll start a spiral of political/racial arguments that distract from the original article. These little remarks deflect most of it.
- machinelabo 5y agoI guess the problem is that the author has brought it up in the article. Race has no place in this article and yet it's there.
- CapmCrackaWaka 5y agoThat’s my point, by bringing it up in the article you can deflect most of the comments that would _try_ to turn the discussion towards race. Whether the author genuinely feels like that or not... who knows.
- seoulmetro 5y agoYes. And I think his point is that you shouldn't cater to extremist behaviour. Which I agree as well. Don't pick a side as a defence. Just censor any attempts to start the war.

- AussieWog93 5y agoI've read that elephants can produce very low frequency sounds (sub-20Hz) that travel long distances and can't be perceived by smaller animals. "Elephant infrasound" just doesn't quite have the same ring to it as "dog whistle", though.
