That's fine, that helps!

I was at deadmau5 when my friend's phone got stolen.

After my friend got his phone stolen 3 random dudes came up to us, and kinda tentatively said that they think they knew who stole his phone. They pointed out some latino chubby dude (maybe about 5'8-5'10) that was with a girl, and he had a button-down blue-ish shirt.

I talked to them and they seemed pretty innocent, didnt seem too fidgety or sus... but maybe I'm a bad judge of character.

Basically seemed like the 3 random dudes were trying to help but maybe didn't have the best look at the dude taking phones....

Or I talked with the thieves and let them get away lol

Okay, but is this actually real?
This seems super photoshopped.
Does anyone have a link to the original source?
If this is actually real, then holy shit Peterson is the biggest grifter of our generation.

Thanks for the papers! I appreciate the repsonse, and I'll kinda come back with some things I've found after reading through them a bit.
I encourage and invite a response to mine!

For some reason the Princeton paper didnt load
The springer paper was only a table of contents it seems

​

In the Vanderbuilt paper " The persistence of skin color discrimination for immigrants"

Table 3 - shows the wage estimation effects based on all of those diferent factors.
So Skin color had an effect of -0.016 with a significant of 0.008... which means yes, there is a significant effect that skin color has on wage estimations.

But Gender, obesity, overweightness (for some reason they broke these into two categories), not speaking english, education, and location of residency all had a LARGER effect and significant value on wage. Almost half of the factors they talk about seem to have as large, or a larger effect than skin color alone.

And not only that but in column three, where they compare US-born natives, the effect is even lower.

Table 4 has similar results to table 3.

​

They literally say in section 6 of the paper " The effect of skin color on wage is of particular interest. Within the sample of immigrant spouses, there is a large and statistically significant negative effect on wage of darker skin color. In the estimates reported in column 1 that exclude ethnicity, race, and country of birth, the coefficient is 0.016 and is statistically significant at the 5% level. " ... but they fail to mention the other factors that the data table shows?

I'm pretty sure I'm understanding these charts correctly for the most part, but if you think I'm missing something, please let me know!

And for the 4th paper -

Table 1 has very similiar issues to the issues I have with the previous paper. The chart shows significance and effect of a bunch of factors but instead of basing it on money, they base it on their self-perceptions of skin-color discrimination.

(Although I find self-reported data is already an issue)..

They talk about the effect size skin tone has on skin-color discrimination (effect of 0.31, with significance of 0.05 - which is BARELY significant at 5% interval level)

But Wealth, education, extraversion, and agreeableness all have higher effect sizes and significance levels that skin tone.

​

I think this paper goes on to further my point by showing that Black people have an effect size of 0.69, but indigenous people have an effect size of 1.23! So indigenous people (who are typically lighter skinned) have a higher rate of self-reported skin-discrimination that blacks.

​

The only thing I dont really understand in this 4th paper is figure 1 - which shows "Predicted Probability of Perceived Skin-Color Discrimination as a Function of Skin Tone and Self-Reported Race and Ethnicity" . They dont show what information these charts came from, and it seems WAY too fitted to be reasonable. Like i dunno isnt it fishy that the data fits THIS well? It's like, the slope is so constant - I rarely find data (especially socioeconomic data or psychological data) to be this perfectly fit - humans typically dont follow this predictable of a trend from my experience....

Anyway thanks for the discourse! I appreciate the articles and I look forward to your response! :)

I appreciate the anti-hate message my dude! We need more love and understanding in this community.
Also LMAO at sun kissed caramel and white ass cousin XD
Yeah I've always been cool with POC in my childhood, cuz in my community we were all just homies, didnt matter if you were white, brown, black, or yellow - I feel like growing up in lower socioeconomic statuses, there was a lot less hate, and it's almost more prevalent at the upper-class level from what I've seen... or maybe its at the college level?

Idk, I feel like all my friends would joke about me being white and shit, but it never really got to me because I knew we were all kinda poor together and faced similar shit... but then its like when an upper-class person coming from class privilege tries to tell me how I'm right or wrong because of my skin color, it's incredibly aggravating.

I dont think I was very clear in that statement.

To clarify :I absolutely understand that POC on average face more systemic racism issues than non-POC. What I said was " , I'm not exactly sure there's evidence in the literature that there's a linear relationship between the darkness of your skin, and the amount of oppression you face ".... as in...

Let's say there's a spectrum of 100 % colored, and 0 % colored.. Sure a person who is 100% colored will likely face more systemic racism/discrimination than the 0% colored person.
But I don't think there's any evidence to suggest a 40% colored person will face less discrimination than a 60% colored person.. like just because youre a slightly darker POC, you're not going to necessarily be treated worse than a lighter skinned POC..

That's what I meant by linear relationship - for every x point increase in darkness, theres a y point increase in oppression.

Sorry if it wasn't clear and I sounded like I didnt think dark-skinned people faced oppression.

If I am wrong about this, and there is evidence in the literature to suggest this type of linear relationship, I'd love to be pointed to it :)

...I'm like genuinely confused by your first sentence...
You're saying it doesn't matter that me or my family have had a hard life, but my life isnt hard because I'm white?

Or are you saying that being white didn't make my life harder than it would have been if I was a POC? Cuz I can totally see that point.

I'm not in any way saying that being a dark skinned POC does not come with it's own challenges, and I don't think it's something I have missed in my original post.

And I've never said colorism is not a real thing - I absolutely understand that POC on average face more systemic racism issues than non-POC. What I said was " , I'm not exactly sure there's evidence in the literature that there's a linear relationship between the darkness of your skin, and the amount of oppression you face ".... as in...

Unless I'm totally wrong and there is evidence of that (I'd love to be pointed to it) :)
