The Art of Noticing | Steve Sailer
Affirmative action for blacks has led to more corruption and more police brutality, no?
It’s frustrating to see two “anti-woke” guys deliberate over the rationality of discrimination when freedom of association means that no one is owed an explanation for why discrimination took place. For example, it could be for aesthetic reasons (e.g., most people don’t like alien phenotypes), not just based on stereotypes accuracy. No one bats an eye if a woman chooses a tall guy over a short guy. Go full anti-woke.
