A US/UK university study is Russian propaganda? The TDS is now starting to flow into everything disliked.

Nothing to do with the content. Just see a lot of people dismiss anything reported by the site on the basis of it being a Russian news organization.

If my formatting wasn't obvious enough, I don't think that it.

White kids, racism and the way privileged parenting props up an unjust system.

It may seem like there's already more than enough writing about white children. After all, the vast majority of children's literature is about white kids. But, Hagerman told me by phone, "while there is a lot of writing about white kids, there is not a lot from a critical race perspective. Much of the developmental psychology literature uses white kids as the sample, but doesn't interrogate what whiteness means or how it situates them in society." White children are everywhere, but their whiteness is effectively invisible and unspoken.

Not sure why anybody is shocked that people are commonly depicted as white in cinema, books, television etc when whites are a majority in the countries they focus on when talking about this subject. If you go to India, would anybody assume to find their media representation of people not brown? Yes we have a history of racism in the west (everywhere does) but it makes sense to me that people in media reflect the demographics of the location the media comes from.

Also the implication seems to be either that we should restrict choice in order to equalize people or that we should purposely hold back from trying to give our kids the best, because racism.

Pretty bizarre article.

All anecdata, but I'll vouch for seeing similar anecdata. I met like 2 women in the USMC out of around 30-40 who could hang with the men, and they were exceptional specimens in multiple aspects. I met a 3rd who could hang physically, but was an emotional trainwreck waiting to happen. I married one of the ones who had no business in the military in general, and she'll agree with that statement. Was a matter of survival.

I will say that the USMC seems to be fighting back by upping the physical requirements across the board, which is a solid clandestine response.

EDIT: I lied

White children are everywhere, but their whiteness is too often invisible and unspoken.

As for white adults, Hagerman says, if they really want a less racist world, they may need to rethink how they approach parenting. "Everyone is trying to do the best for their kid," she says. "But I actually think that there are times when maybe the best interest of your own kid isn't actually the best choice. Ultimately, being a good citizen sometimes conflicts with being good parents. And sometimes maybe parents should decide to be good citizens over being good parents." That could mean voting to raise taxes so to better fund public schools. Maybe in our case it should have meant choosing a public school rather than a private one.

Damn. The rich and privileged really do have a different view of the world. It seems ironic to me that the author of this article just automatically equates white with rich, and minority groups as almost like a child that needs to be coddled and bolstered. Do you really think that rich-ass black kid sitting in the seat next to whitey in some prestigious private school is going to face the same hardships as the black kid who grows up in poverty? The author of this article views our continuously more stratified aristocracy as a race issue, when in reality it is a socioeconomic one. Ironically enough, people like this author are actually doing a disservice to the idea of racism, imo. Your gated community tokens arent struggling, that's for sure.

I also envision this author going to some charity donation drive for poor inner city minorities dressed in a suit, and up on a power podium attempting to say how he is just like them. Nobody buys it, and apparently neither does he himself. He is right in a way though; the way that rich white kids are force-fed the idea of being charitable towards minorities just enforces how different the two are. It also breeds the type of class resentment that led to the core middle class standing behind and voting for somebody like Trump.

I hadn't bothered watching that commercial before. lmao, didn't realize they even had that Young Turks chick in it. P&G is one of the most pozzed companies out there right now.
