Cuz it’s vulnerable to confounding variables

2020-08-30 03:14:06 UTC  

well then you're throwing out all of sociology and physiology

2020-08-30 03:14:19 UTC  

because those fields always work in some amount of grey area

2020-08-30 03:14:28 UTC  

we can't know for certain what's going on in other people's heads

2020-08-30 03:14:37 UTC  

we can only test for how they act in the world

2020-08-30 03:14:42 UTC  

To a reasonable degree then

2020-08-30 03:14:45 UTC  

Yeah I think a point can be made with that urban culture is discriminated against

2020-08-30 03:14:46 UTC  

its imprecise science, but its science

2020-08-30 03:15:01 UTC  

But there is a fairly big chance it was athebpoverty thing more than the race thing

2020-08-30 03:15:19 UTC  

If they ran this study with Clyde as the name we could compare and see

2020-08-30 03:15:27 UTC  

That would be interesting

2020-08-30 03:15:39 UTC  

Also unconscious biases is not the same thing as systemic racism

2020-08-30 03:15:45 UTC  

I think we can all agree here that the study is not a study about racial discrimination

2020-08-30 03:15:52 UTC  

But cultural discrimination

2020-08-30 03:16:29 UTC  

yes, but even if it is entirely the poverty thing, then we still need to contend with the fact that black people are so disproportionately in poverty that their stereotypical black names have become associate with it

2020-08-30 03:16:36 UTC  

do you understand how that's almost no better

2020-08-30 03:16:57 UTC  

That isn’t true though dude

2020-08-30 03:17:03 UTC  

Again Washington and Jefferson

2020-08-30 03:17:31 UTC  

I have personally never met a black person with either of those names

2020-08-30 03:17:40 UTC  

I don’t care

2020-08-30 03:17:43 UTC  

but I will take your word for it that they are sterotypically black

2020-08-30 03:17:45 UTC  

i have met

2020-08-30 03:17:53 UTC  

I think your failing to understand my point

2020-08-30 03:17:58 UTC  

They are. It’s been documented

2020-08-30 03:17:59 UTC  

Ditto

2020-08-30 03:18:06 UTC  

just because there are exceptions to the rule, doesn't mean there isn'

2020-08-30 03:18:09 UTC  

t a rule

2020-08-30 03:18:59 UTC  

That would be true if there wasn’t another potential rule with less exceptions: poverty

2020-08-30 03:19:36 UTC  

ok, but did you read what I wrote about that being hardly any better?

2020-08-30 03:21:19 UTC  

Yes

2020-08-30 03:21:31 UTC  

black people are more likely to be named tyrone. black people are more likely to be in poverty. the black people named tyrone are more likely to be in the ghetto. Now anyone named tyrone (disproportionately black people) gets judged for the name because it is associated with poverty because \as a large contributing factor black people are disproportionately in property.

2020-08-30 03:21:31 UTC  

If we have bias against the impoverished that’s bad

2020-08-30 03:21:45 UTC  

and black people are more likely to be impoverished

2020-08-30 03:21:59 UTC  

which effects stereotypically black names

2020-08-30 03:22:02 UTC  

And White people makes Clyde or more likely to be impoverished too

2020-08-30 03:22:13 UTC  

Does that mean discriminations against Clyde is racist?

2020-08-30 03:22:15 UTC  

which effects all black people

2020-08-30 03:22:34 UTC  

But people aren’t biased towards the impoverished because of there race but because of there social class

2020-08-30 03:23:03 UTC  

The fact there happens to be a racial correlation with poverty doesn’t mean the discrimination was due to race

2020-08-30 03:23:46 UTC  

how do you know that @T2the2ndpowr You know it is based 0% on race or that people aren't using race a shortcut to infer poverty? How do you know that?

2020-08-30 03:23:57 UTC  

I don’t
