21. This is something white liberals

Don’t seem to get at first. People are the same and that cuts both ways.

If it means that racist shit about IQ etc is garbage, it also means that in all groups, self interest aside, the same tiresome Magat mentality exists - religiosity, sexism, suspicion of science along with the wish to exploit it for toys, zero concern for earth etc.

I am a non-white liberal (well more left these days than liberal). I have had the flipped white liberal syndrome at times and felt more tolerant towards Magats who are not of Indian origin (I am Indian), figuring that “okay I don’t know what’s going on there”. Whereas I can peg the Ramaswamy types easily.
