| What exactly do you disagree with? > Everyone can be a minority if they decide to, depending on how you cut the population. No, not if they "decide to". I think you mean that every person on the planet has minority status within any number of categorizations, but we're talking about categorizations that actually matter in terms of discrimination. Or do you mean to argue that U.S. soccer fans, marathon runners, and male nurses (all minorities) have similar life experiences as racial minorities? > To claim "white males" are a majority is just an arbitrary distinction you're making. It's not arbitrary if it's a salient factor in determining a person's social and economic outcome. > You fix it by being inclusive, and judging people on their merits. Indeed. Interesting, though, that you're more concerned about how this group is acting in regard than how society at large is... |
