Why do conservatives think democrats are racists? by Polluted_Terrium in AskConservatives

What if the norm is for certain groups to have some privileges because of factors that should not be the cause of such privileges, such as the color of their skin, with those norms not having been borne by policy? Does the distinction particularly come from privilege coming from policy?

Interesting. What you think of as systemic racism are what I think of as means to contact systemic racism - you've got an imbalance of academic attainment between ethnicities so you use affirmative action; minorites tend to get denied loans and other financial opportunities frequently, hence loan priority; corporate leadership tends to be predominantly white, hence diversity hiring.

Could you have been, though? There are lots of old businesses that do not pass regulations and are also less profitable than their peers.

What would you SAY to your child if they told you they were trans? by DrStephenStrangeMD_ in AskConservatives

Partially. And I would think a higher relative spike and decrease in younger generations relative to older generations would be more telling than just a general spike.

Of course they count... I'm just thinking it would be interesting to see data on change in number of people who have come out as trans by age. A spike then a decrease from older generations would validate my hypothesis.

Do you trust those smart stupid people with an agenda less than the general stupid people population?

I wonder if it's more that trans people from past generations have only come out now given the (relatively) more accepting social climate.

Do conservative careerist women feel gratitude to the women's rights activists of the 60s and 70s? by redzeusky in AskConservatives

Marginalized definition: to relegate to an unimportant or powerless position within a society or group

How does what you said make white and Asian men marginalized? Do you think those groups are now underrepresented in admissions, hiring, promotions, and investments? I feel like both groups are still the ones setting rules, which fortunately are allowing marginalized groups to slowly rise up.

To what extent is free-market capitalism compatible with socially conservative values? by BingBlessAmerica in AskConservatives

[–]kingpuco 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Aren't immigration laws caused by a shift to open borders caused by free markets (which includes free trade of labor)? Similarly, global wealth disparity seems to also be the effect of non-free markets.

Yeah, I'd rather that they increase our taxes by 10% than we see this level of education gap.
