Let's make a wager. You ship me the test and if you're more black than me I pay you twice what you paid for the test. If not, free test on you. Deal.

Coding is a white construct and thus inherently racist, so... no. You can't.

Invoices are also a white construct. Strap in, shitlord -- you're gonna learn today.

I hope there's a follow up, because this sounds bizarre.

Is this affinity spaces gone wrong, or is there some misunderstanding here?

That's a pretty old video B. How do you know all the protests haven't solved racism since then?

Read their business plan, it never gets solved, it's life long work.


Also, this: Prevalence-induced concept change in human judgment
Abstract

Why do some social problems seem so intractable? In a series of experiments, we show that people often respond to decreases in the prevalence of a stimulus by expanding their concept of it. When blue dots became rare, participants began to see purple dots as blue; when threatening faces became rare, participants began to see neutral faces as threatening; and when unethical requests became rare, participants began to see innocuous requests as unethical. This “prevalence-induced concept change” occurred even when participants were forewarned about it and even when they were instructed and paid to resist it. Social problems may seem intractable in part because reductions in their prevalence lead people to see more of them.

Why would you be surprised that when team CRT proposes things that to the other side seem insane that team old racist white people would come up with their own extreme proposals. We've all been trolling on RM for years, how do you not know how it works?

Is the Taliban leader gonna get one? I mean, it's not like he lead an insurrection against a democratically elected government.

Fair enough. It looks like the vote was to remove a requirement that those things be taught.

Apologies for elevating Texas lawmakers from mildly racist to vehemently racist.

Yes, lets continue devaluing the term 'racist'. Shit kids, might as well start using the hard r, as you're already irredeemable.
