AHBarbarossa Posted December 9, 2016 Share Posted December 9, 2016 In a recent discussion with a highly regarded acquaintance of mine I was confronted with a claim going in this direction: It is hard to get to a higher position as a person of color in Austria because of racism. In concrete it was about universities and faculty staff and I could take the easy way and list all the faculty staff I find who are not white. BUT, how fun is the easy way? Also I want to give a general answer: https://www.minds.com/blog/view/654016961293852686 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IsaacGage860 Posted December 11, 2016 Share Posted December 11, 2016 That sounds mostly like an excuse to blame Europeans/White people for everything. This is especially baffling given the cultural suicide that leaders like Francois Hollande and Angela Merkel are currently foisting onto the native European population.

AHBarbarossa Posted December 23, 2016 Author Share Posted December 23, 2016 Of course that was such a claim.I stropped trying to appeal to moral compasses and even scientific facts, but I like how people squirm when you present them with a mathematical refutation.Yet I haven't encountered anyone who claims that mathematics is racist... yet.

EclecticIdealist Posted December 24, 2016 Share Posted December 24, 2016 I stropped trying to appeal to moral compasses and even scientific facts, but I like how people squirm when you present them with a mathematical refutation. You do understand that what you cited was not a mathematical refutation, but rather a mathematical confirmation, don't you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
