People talk about victim hood and i question every time if they know what they talking about? When do they talk about abuse and abusers? What's the whole narrative?

would be nice if the actual link to the study worked to see the actual numbers, but really not sure how in a phone message someone is to tell if someone is middle class or working class. Though I am guessing that both would be considered poor in NY. It is also interesting that they picked the one area ie therapists that really rather have self paying individuals then insurance clients I would guess that problem is even more pronounced in an area that therapists are in demand (ie only 15% are getting appointments).

What a joke of a study.

Take study 1 for example:

What could possibly be wrong about selecting a group out of exclusively university students? Did I already mention that the study has some serious issues by using a samplesize that consisted of 96 % women? Median Age of 19?

111/123 students being White?

I didn´t even read further, because it is ridiculous to use this study to make claims about anything.

If this is the best you can bring up against Wil´s arguments, this is hilarious

Wil,

You are aware Hillary had almost 3 million more votes, right? That you won your bet because of 70,000 votes in 3 states? Don't confuse you being lucky about getting something right with you being smart.

Supremacy posturing and cynical argumentation FIRST!

I have looked into your "empirical evidence".

The methodological flaws are too vast to use this as evidence of race-based discrimination.

I think race-based discrimination is a problem, but the study you presented is not making your case stronger.

The idea is not denying the evidence. The idea is to do what is in your power to succeed regardless of race-based discrimination.

Quite right, I misread the class, however the rest of my point still stands. There is a bias from educated people towards people who seemed less educated. I wouldn't be surprised if they only tested it with black patients using slang instead of something that would be more accurate - normal speaking black patients vs white patients using slang.

I would love to dig through the data and see how it was tested. I would also bet the reverse situations weren't tested because it wouldn't fly politically. The concept of reverse racism doesn't exist because the united States is majority white. I would not be surprised if they did a study using any other set of races against whites that the other race would have a slight bias towards their own race. If they did the same test with only Korean doctors and white patients using slang you'd probably see loltastic bias towards the Korean patients.

We are human beings and we have biases and tribalistic tendencies. Yes, I would not be surprised if white doctors had a bias towards white patients who spoke well vs black patients who used slang and grammatical errors. I would be very surprised if the majority of those white doctors would prefer seeing white patients using slang over black patients who didn't.

I don't know how to say this without making it about the poster, but wil, you flat out don't understand how experimental studies work and what "controlling for class" means.

It was just a joke spank, relax.

I disagree, but believe what you wish.

Luck had nothing to do with it. Elections aren't "luck". It's not a roll of the dice.

How don't you know I am already relaxing? Did bragging getting called out make you tense?

Hey, racism and bigotry is still happening FYI. You dont have to take my word for it, just practice being perceptive.

He has no basic statistical knowledge. If you asked him to explain a two tailed test he'd ask what if you got heads in your coin flips.

Just in the latest post he pretends variance and distribution don't exist.

I agree with you, it is still happening. Ive never said it doesn't exist. I'm saying people can rise above it. Liberals take it to the point of idiocy, trying their best to make everything equal for everybody. That's not possible.

So your point is that people being discriminated against should just pull themselves up by their bootstraps and the government shouldn't be trying to make it a level playground?

The great liberal Wil everyone...

Wil, can you point out where anyone said people can't rise above racism? The whole point of racism is that one group has to "rise above" certain things while another group strolls into those same accomplishments.

Again, Wil isn't arguing against anyone itt. He is arguing against points nobody has made. Because it's easy to argue against yourself, and that is all Wil is doing. It's just spam.

No. And you should probably nip the above sort of routine, as it damages credibility and is, well, objectively false.


What is nst?

I doubt you know what 'liberals' are actually doing, but you are free to have that opinion.

And defying people who say 'that's not possible' brings many wonderful (and sometimes not so wonderful) things in my opinion and experience. So keep giving that opportunity, and I will always take it to stand and make things happen people said were not possible again and again.

Ive always wanted to use the line "some of my best friends are racists" but the wrong people won't know it's irony.

"The fall of a single leaf heralds the coming of autumn"

We all know the "victim mentality" is rhetoric designed to say "shut up and deal with it like a good [expletive removed]", which is funny because those guys aren't supposed to hide behind PC language like that.

Breitbart isn't a valid source of news.

Although their standards have gone up slightly since sacking a paedo apologist so, relatively speaking, now is the best time for them.

Four days ago mong told me he "rarely leads brietbart" when I accused him of getting most of his news from white nationalist sources. He's back to posting multiple links a day. I'm shocked!

You can't make anything totally equal, you never will because it's actually not possible. The history of racism and the inequality of different groups can't be fixed. You can only try to create the same rules and hope the different groups of people come together in a cohesive way.

I admit I'm not plugged into Correct The Record and all the pro-Hillary bastions you were probably following, but on this forum full of what you claim to be fake liberals the reaction was "Jesus, ugh, no" which is good enough for me.
