    the problematic part of this is that you’ve stripped all context to support your, admittedly bigoted, rhetoric and ethos.

    black people, generally, have worse education outcomes than whites in american education. you’d still be an incredibly shitty and terrible person if you advocated hiring white people over black people by rote rule. you can find plenty of “studies” that formalize that argument just as you have here, though. essentialist can just say whatever they want, you guys aren’t bounded by rational thought and critical thinking like the rest of us. no, arguing considering context would be too hard. you’d rather just sort people into nice little easy bins, wouldn’t you?

    no, i think most rational people understand that in a scenario like this all people have, on average, the same basic cognitive faculties and potential, and would then proceed to advocate for improving the educational conditions for groups that are falling behind not due to their own nature, but due to the system they are in.

    but idk, i’m not a bigot so maybe my brain just implicitly rejects the idea “X people are worse/less intelligent/etc than Y people”

    fucking think about what you’re saying. there is no “right people” to hate other than the rich and powerful. it isn’t a subversion of the feminist message to admit this. in fact, it makes you a better feminist. real feminist aren’t sexist.

    can you imagine if you said this in a racial context and then you made an edit like “edit: can see i offended a lot of darkies with this :)”… are you dense? can you not see how you are engaging in the same kind of thought that oppressed you and likely spurred you towards feminism in the first place? except you don’t understand that what you do is patently unfeminist and makes the world a worse place. i can honestly say i fucking despise bigots, including people just like you.
