<p>>lack of diversity does not imply discrimination<p>If everyone is a blank slate and there is no genetic basis to intelligence, than yes, it does.<p>Their logic is correct, but it's based on a false premise.  And if you call it into question, I sure hope you aren't dependent on having a job.</p>

<p>They aren't on the margins, at all.  Sanders said that white men don't know what it's like to be poor, the Colombia mattress girl was invited to the State of the Union, the president of Harvard was fired for saying that men may have greater variance in genetic traits than women.<p>Hundreds of millions in federal funding is awarded for professors to talk about how we need to "abolish whiteness"; it's the dominant belief system in academics.</p>

<p>I've asked this question probably two dozen times to various people, in as earnest and non-confrontational a manner as I can , and the only time I've been able to receive a response that departed from "You're a racist." was when I was told by my professor to leave the room.<p>I cannot figure out how to get an answer to this.</p>

<p>If the residents of the eastern side of your street were, on average, more intelligent, wealthy, and altruistic than those on the western side, while being frequently victimized by west side residents who proudly declared their resentment of easterners, then yes, I believe it would be in the eastern residents interest to form a community separate from the westerners.</p>

<p>Acceptable, sure, but I don't see how introducing a proxy would make our research more effective.<p>It could very well be the case that race is itself a factor for anti-social behavior.</p>

<p>The issue as I understand it is that having a discussion with a Trump supporter gives their views a platform and potentially exposes other people to them.<p>Arguments that wide-scale non-white immigration is detrimental to white societies, that the black-white IQ gap includes a non-zero genetic component, that biological differences exist between men and women, etc. cannot be refuted through rationalism, so we have to resort to other methods to prevent their spread.</p>
