Not entirely surprised at the results there.

Any poll that shows nearly 50% of Democrats as saying that Blacks are at least moderately violent seems suspect, the other results notwithstanding. Would like to see the methodology that led to their conclusions. Also, ironic that the last line of the article chastises for stereotyping while the article pretty much condemns Trump supporters as racist. Stereotyping those who stereotype?

[boutons_deux]

Probably a majority of Trump supporters ARE racists, white supremacists, homphobes, xenophobes, Muslim haters. IOW, the traditional Repug base.

[Spurminator]

Trump seems to have really connected with the internet troll base.

What gets lost is nuance.

I would describe blacks as somewhat violent/lazy, in the same way that whites or humans in general are. Poverty and cir stance has far more to do with it than skin color. Although I think I would get the point of the poll and just say "not at all accurate".

I think the question could have been better worded.

Still... the trend the poll shows is rather obvious, even allowing for poor wording.

You want to draw nuance and Trends from a self-selecting internet poll?
Good luck with that.

If you really believe that, your are re ed. I am far from racist.

I say 10 times or about 70% of the democrats are racist because they believe in quota based affirmative action. You see it all the time, comparing statistics. To believe is such a system is needed is saying minorities are inferior, and need help.

Is their belief system that the minorities ARE inferior or that they are TREATED as inferior?

When they ran a study where 2 identical resumes/applications were submitted to the same jobs (one with a typical "white" name and one with a latino name), and one of those (you can guess which) got a significant higher rate of response, what does that tell you?

Does Salon have any editorial standards? Is anything fact checked? Is there even any system of QC whatsoever?

take salon/daily kos with the same grain of salt that you would for breitbart and freebeacon

this is my favorite gem




i also remember last year they put up an article saying The US Military is the greatest risk to our national security... and they literally waited for memorial day weekend to drop that article

Prejudice and racism are not the same. If you are not going to learn the nuances of specific definitions, then don't blame anyone for your ignorance.

People have a natural tendency to prefer others with more in common with themselves. Under the "all other conditions are the same" this is a natural bias. Not racism. Racism specifically means thinking another race is inferior. Preferring to be around others that are more likely to share similar cultural values is not racism.

Confusing such nuances is your failing. Not mine.

I will suspect that under conditions where the employer making the decision is a Latino, the Latino applicant would more likely be chosen.

racism is prejudice that is based upon race. choosing employee A over employee B because of your racial preference is absolutely a racist decision

[Wild Cobra]

Notice the qualifier "superior" in your insert, or are you blind to it?

Your employment example has no indication the bias was based of perceived superiority. This is why I say quota based affirmative action is racist! It assumes minorities are inferior... not equal, and need help.

your affirmative action example has no indication that the bias was based off perceived superiority

lol

No, it (correctly) assumes that many people believe minorities are inferior and cannot be relied upon to provide equal opportunity for jobs without some level of enforcement.

That's your confirmation bias speaking.

Care to quote the part of the study that supports your assumption?

I didn't think so...

[Wild Cobra]

lol

Then minorities don't need help with quota systems, right?

Why do you need a study? Look up the legislation and find where it says Affirmative Action is needed because minorities are inferior, if that's really why you believe it was introduced.

lol circular argument. this is where we started.

minorities are not hired at a fair rate and studies have confirmed that this is strictly because of their being in a minority
