Well the problem with this whole unconscious bias thing.  I didn't get the message that white people are dominant in that picture.  I got one guy on top, others below and the guys on the bottom happen to be Asian.  I can't prove that I did not pick up an unconscious bias, but they can't prove that I did.  So how do they know if I did or I didn't?  [/quote]
DP here. None of what you said is the real issue. In fact, the real issue is that you think the issue is about what you would have picked up from this book.[/quote]
No, the issue is not that my opinion is wrong.  The issue is that the people who think they are right literally have nothing to go on other than their own opinions.  It's a house of cards.  They list arbitrary features and say that's what they mean.  But that meaning only exist because people say it does.  Which is you can only tell me I'm wrong, but like all the other smart people on this thread, you can't actually tell me why.  So you just say I am wrong and make that the issue.  Seems pretty dumb if you ask me, but you didn't ask, so whatever.[/quote]

It's like a Rorschach test or the difference between art and smut when it comes to nudes. And yes, there is a subjective line. But in this particular case, if you don't see the implicit racism/bias in that image,then you are on the wrong side of it, disagree all you like.[/quote]
If it's subjective, there is no right or wrong. [/quote]

Oh no, not you again.
