Thanks for acknowledging these man and being a voice of reason. So many ignorant opinions and deliberate attempts to ignore injustice in this thread.

Let me explain to you, by virtue of being part of a majority culture or dominant culture, your white father already benefits. His ways and norms and cultures and mores are the “default”. He gains a leg up already by not being discriminated

No you’re just ignoring racism if you ignore the groups that exist. This is well known hence why the idea of someone being “colorblind” is erroneous because it is trying to ignore disadvantages and pretend the field is level. Here’s a misun

Equity is about justice. It’s an ethical issue. If you cannot understand justice, you cannot understand equity. Very simply, when a majority group uses its power and position to enforce its cultural norms and policies on the rest of society

If you are part of a majority group you benefit or are at least not impeded by the cultural dominance asserted by the majority group’s control of policies, power, laws, etc. equity is about justice. People were not treated justly and still

But your father benefited from being part of a majority group who had its culture imposed on others or at least wasn’t suppressed itself. The elites and people who wrote laws were largely from the larger group of white people. Yes there is

Thank you for speaking some sense in this thread. It is quite easy if You start to look into it, reparations is about justice. Injustice is perpetuated under the guise of “neutral” policy all the time.

This is some naive approach in my opinion. Nobody sees human beings as “human beings” in their day to day life, it is all about statuses, circumstances, etc AND also the individual. Distinction is an incredibly important feature between gr

Pogroms did occur but they were not the norm for the society. Al-Andalusia is notable for periods of tolerance between its diverse strata. The point I was conveying in my previous comment was that they are not equal and the same. We have mu

> The Muslims did the same some centuries earlier so I can imagine that "forcing people to practice a religion" was a common practice during that era. This is generally not true for Al-Andalus. In general Christians were not fo

Berbers were considered a different group than Arabs and still today there are distinctions. There is a distinction between the Almohads and later Almoravids who later invaded Al-Andalus and their different ways and culture than the previou

The kingdom of Castile committed what would amount to a genocide in todays terms of the Moriscos and tried to wash its history of the Muslim past. But there’s still a lot of influence in the Andalusia region and even some crypto-moorish peo

While many succumb to the pressure of going to bars for corporate reasons or peer pressure, it would be more accommodating for culture to be less focused around consumption of a harmful substance like alcohol which has such drastic conseque

Curious as to if you can give insight why? I think many mothers would say their role as a mother is the most important and valuable to them. Usually men are more ambitious in their work, and women who become ambitious in work and career ris

Could it be that equality is not the just nor fair answer? A big silence in terms of women’s equality is found in the most drastic case in fields like the military, where even though women have been allowed and encouraged via advertisement,

Thanks for your reply. I would like to see social factors put to a similar rigor of analysis then, since it seems to me that you are proposing socialization is (1) a major factor and (2) that the socialization of women towards non-leadershi

But these qualities are gendered. Women are in general not wanting to be leaders in the same fields as men, and these fields are generally in prominent prestige (think roles like banking, lawyers, leadership, etc). In fields like medicine w

If you look past the surface and pomp, a lot of Tate’s takes have a degree of sensibility in the absurd culture we exist in. For example, his take on how hookup culture is damaging & the motivations of men & women differ was very in

This is because medicine is so complex and usually doctors are in the business of caring for patients, and while they may enjoy science, it’s not like every single detail of medicine, which is a very broad field, will be interesting to them

I think you have to consider the broader peer group. If all the anti-social media parents and their kids become friends with each other, it will be far easier to avoid peer pressure compared to regular society. Same with drugs, sex, smoking

This app is great for easily jumping to a section by reciting a part of a verse. The mistake detection is also decent. Would be interesting to see if tajweed training and mistake detection could be integrated.

This may be the case for the subset polled but TikTok is wildly popular with teens and for good reason, it’s the most “organic” feeling social media app with an addictive algorithm. Also TikTok allowed the expression of a lot of speech and

I’m waiting for policy level regulation of some kind of all social media. It’s difficult because access to social media and internet has much good in it, but also there is much bad. I think it is too much of a drug this point for our societ

With role play, if it refuses to do something against its policy, you can keep prompting it then tell it to continue on and then it will “remember” the stuff you told it which it originally denied and incorporate it into the new message. Ve

Internet Pornography and access to communicating with adults online and sending pictures and meeting up has had a profoundly negative effect on some children and teens. I think that this space will eventually get regulated much better as pe

The thing is, there are many other children and teens who went through similar experiences like me. And I don’t think any child or teen should be subjected to that level of internet wilderness, not at least until they’ve gotten more sense i

I can anecdotally tell you growing up as a child and then teen with internet access with little regulation led me (was a minor back then) to having virtual sexual interactions with adults and other minors. I’m sure pictures are stored in a
