I can't believe what I'm reading in this thread, what the fuck is going on here? Is someone intervening in the curriculum of western schools and colleges with intend to spread some fantasy narrative or is this coming from the mentality of "I am smart, I can do science, me." because of the internet and information at the click of a button. This shit is scary as fuck man. |
Whether or not you agree the positions of some of the posters in this thread, which are largely based on an ongoing scientific debate, the fact is, this "change" is functionally meaningless. No one has yet to explain any way in which being able to self-report race will result in any negative consequences within these school districts. There is nothing scary about this. It is a mundane change to make some paperwork easier.
I think the only thing scary about it is the fact that some people are so desperate to cling to divisions of race, even when those divisions are so functionally meaningless.
