You're not following the advice of hn and reading my post in the most charitable light. I specifically used "culture" in my reply, and added "or race" to illustrate my point. You chose to view this as a strawman. It is not. Please feel free to ignore the "race" part of my statement.
So for the benefit of doubt, the world has over many decades tried to fight against the sentiment that some cultures are superior because (and pay attention here) this line of thought (whether it is right or wrong), has led to horrific outcomes in the past, and still does.
- lelanthran 2y agoHere's the thing, though, my point was always "some cultural norms are superior". I never made the point that "some cultures are superior". You responded as if I said "some cultures or races are superior", and your second response refined my point to "some cultures are superior", both of which are incorrect characterisations of my position. There's a big difference in the meanings between what I wrote and what you read, twice.
