But this sounds like a real mistake someone can make... how do you know which groups of people are together? If they're spaced apart enough it's not hard mistake them as separate groups. Not to mention you don't know what the assistant's tone was or whether or not the author was misinterpreting the situation. Honestly, that blog post feels like bait for a forced debate based on an anecdote with little to no information/evidence of anything.

I find it illuminating that there are comments alternately explaining that his happened because she wasn't standing close enough to the group or that it's just simple Bayesian probability that black women aren't important.

I'd really like to see a debate between these two groups. Like both agree that nothing wrong happened, but who has the best explanation why it's all ok?
