But to believe in an philosophical entity known as whiteness that seeks to surpress non white minorities has no scientific basis, and is simply rendered false by the fact that Asians, and I do now believe Indians have on average higher levels on incomes than white males in the U.S. In other words they are now the top of the food chain. Look I am all for racial equality and stomping out racism where it exists, but I'm against quasi scientific theories that are solely based on political ideologies. One could make the case that whiteness theory is implicitly racist in itself as it only attacks people of European decent. The end result of such indoctrination are the students with the dog whistle. |

If you want to make up an argument please back it up with facts not smug comments.
I am always open to having my opinion changed. For me all that matters is reason and facts and evidence. I could give a f)ck up about being liberal or conservative or political ideologies in general, so long as they are not breeding extremism, which on university campuses they currently are. |

Just calling it like I'm seeing it mate.
Well, if you follow critical theory, then it never closes out the opportunity for what you suggest with the whiteness theory being implicitly racist being true. In fact, you could take that same theory and use it to survey and analyze the actions of people who have been taught about whiteness theory because that in itself could be a social construct that they've picked up through education. That's why I said that it's ironic for anyone to teach critical race theory as an absolute, because that theory stems from.

For me it comes down to whether or not the concept being taught by a professor is scientifically sound, and I don't believe that Whiteness or many theories utlizing social construct theories are. and it may be just coincidence, but everytime I took one of these courses it was run by a Marxist left wing professor, and the material was heavily politically biased. (I honestly don't think they even realize it, I think that their just true believers)...but then again, I may have just had bad luck. I'm oppossed to the religious right as much as I am the authoritarian left, it is just that the latter appears to be growing in power while the former is diminishing. ...as for people like Milo Yiannopoulos, honestly not a fan, he just happens to be counteracting this stuff. |

Soft sciences are absolutely valid. I'm sorry that you're not willing to accept that.

I do think that academic disciplines like sociology, and political science are of less value to society than the hard sciences of physics and chemistry though, and more open to be abused for someone's political gain. I actually have a honor's degree in history, but when people comment that I must be really smart, I laugh in their face. Any pointdexter can get an A in history or sociology if they read enough. It takes real brain power to be a top biochemist. |
