Here’s a fun exercise. Try going to your nearest black underclass neighborhood, preferably at night. See how well this advice serves you.
My advice implied this where… I wonder… Hate to have to say it, but I wouldn’t advise doing that. I wonder if in some alternate universe where I, a black man, was explaining to a black Eugine Nier about adjustments in behavior he should consider around groups of unfamiliar white people, whether that black Eugine Nier would suggest I try it out in rural West Virginia.
This seems like a total non sequitur.
From your previous comment and others you’ve made in this thread, you seem to think that talking about any racial distinctions is taboo and verboten, especially in academic circles. That just isn’t true.
A century ago this was much closer to the standard stereotype.
We could talk about that, just like we tend to have to talk about new topics whenever you tire of the original ones. I could pick a new thing to talk about too, like problems with “model minority” stereotypes. Or I can get closer to the original, and ask for what relevant similarities you see between Asian people and black people—apart from their being minorities—that makes you seriously wonder “why black people haven’t done it.”

Notice how precisely you had to specify the place and location (and even then I’m not convinced the situation would be as dangerous), whereas I merely pointed you to the neighborhoods where a majority of blacks live.

The fact that they faced discrimination and were considered subhuman, i.e., the thing I mentioned in the parent and you called a “new topic”.
Yeah, we’ve been at this for a few days now. I think I’ve humored you enough at this point.
If you want to get past raw assertions and have a more serious discussion about academic bias and race, try finding the relevant studies and reading the relevant history instead of giving us more of your armchair impressions. Also, lay off the right wing press. It obviously isn’t helping you. Also, don’t reflexively downvote comments from people you’re arguing with. Also, don’t ignore their questions and responses. Also, stop shifting topics instead of acknowledging a fair point.
