Study: White liberals dumb themselves down when speaking to minorities

[Oldstyle]

we have to dumb it down until the right wing simply refuses to understand the concepts because it gainsays their propaganda and rhetoric and they have no valid arguments.

Well...when it comes to "dumbing it down", Daniel...you might just be the best at that on the ENTIRE board! Funny thing though...I've never seen you post something that wasn't dumb. Which begs the question...are you dumbing yourself down...or are you simply sharp as a box of rocks?

there is no provision for excuses in the federal doctrine.

Ah yes...another Danielpalos post that makes no sense at all! Keep up the good work of dumbing down US Message Board, little buddy!

Political correctness = the ultimate dumbing down

Funny stuff, certainly not surprising:

White liberals dumb themselves down when they speak to black people, a new study contends - The Washington Post

“White liberals may unwittingly draw on negative stereotypes, dumbing themselves down in a likely well-meaning, ‘folksy,’ but ultimately patronizing, attempt to connect with the outgroup,” argues the paper, titled “Self-Presentation in Interracial Settings: The Competence Downshift by White Liberals.”

The findings, based on what the authors stress is “preliminary evidence,” raise difficult questions about aspirations for a so-called post-racial society. The results reveal how subtle forms of discrimination may coincide with progress toward equal treatment, or what the paper identifies as “a significant reduction in the expression of explicit prejudice and endorsement of negative stereotypes.”

The psychologists further discovered that white liberals rarely admit to the goal of appearing less competent, a fact that highlights the role of implicit bias and “the covert nature of the competence downshift strategy.”

“It’s somewhat counterintuitive,” said Dupree, who is the lead author and whose research was supported by the National Science Foundation as well as by Princeton’s Joint Degree Program in Social Policy. “The idea that people who are most well intentioned toward racial minorities, the people actually showing up and wanting to forge these connections, they’re the ones who seem to be drawing on stereotypes to do so.”

Consumed with skin color. STOP LOWERING STANDARDS FOR MINORITIES. Enough already.

It's a sad thing, I don't doubt that some people do that.......like those from here who go to non-English speaking countries as tourists and seem to think that by speaking English louder and slower, they will be understood.

I agree....not a fan.

White lefties spend very little time around blacks and believe blacks are inferior and in need of their help. So whenever they’re actually involved with any blacks they treat them like they’re retarded children.

Are you saying all "white lefties" do that?

some lefties are grateful for our doctrine of separation of powers.

Yeah, pretty much. Those who spend time around blacks do so on a limited basis and then head back home to their all-white-dem hamlets.

Republicans didn't fuck up unions, Joey...unions did that all by themselves! What started out as protection for the working man turned into union leaders at the trough extorting businesses to line their own pockets. You want to know why union membership has declined? It isn't because rich guys conspired against them...it's because the people who ran the unions let a little power go to their heads.

Um, no, it's more to do with the 40 year war Republicans have waged against them. I'm sorry you missed it, because it was done pretty much out in the open.

The reason you liberals have lost parts of the rust belt in the last few elections is that blue collar workers have finally figured out that progressive policies don't create jobs and politicians like Nancy Pelosi, Chuck Schumer and Hillary Clinton couldn't care less about them other than as votes to keep themselves in power! How "simple" is that?

Um, no, the reason why we lost those states was because too many people pissed away their votes on third party candidates.

Don't worry, when Trump tanks the good economy Obama left him, the dumb white trash in the Rust belt will figure it out.
