R the PC police included in "racial anxieties"...just wondering? to me, that is the thing that turns me away from the left, mostly.....free speech is SO important, including abrasive free speech
Be abrasive if you like, but if a marginalized group says you are using speech that is non-inclusive I think culturally dominant groups, if they truly believe in equality, should respect that and change. Failure to do so is a symptom of the exact thing this article is talking about.
@DoctoralZombie i agree. i just don't want laws that MAKE me do it. it sucks, but imbeciles have a right to an opinion, and to voice it. hell, that's how the rest of us tell they're idiots: we listen to them talk.
@IamBane I am fine with restricting hate speech.
@DoctoralZombie yeah, i guess i would be too. it's worries me who is going to decide what is hateful and what is not
@IamBane I agree
@DoctoralZombie It's like when Justice Scolia said, "I can't define vulgarity, but i know it when i see it"----that's scary stuff!
Who would have guessed less than educated semi skilled white older men would be threatened by immigrants and women workers. I for one am shocked.
I really want to read the studies cited
