Liberal professor Pinterest vs anti-woke Pinterest.

Why do the rest of us care?

Exactly.  Apparently now white Liberal a**holes have declared cabinet organization to be racist.  These people are insane! 😂😂😂
I would have thought you'd realize by now that Rupert Murdoch uses his media companies to generate content designed to exploit your emotional nature and make you enraged at an enemy that, for the most part, doesn't even really exist.

People who over- organize their pantry or call that racist and sexist have too much time on their hands.

It's true. But recently these obscure, isolated individuals have, because of select media focus, aroused people who would have otherwise ignored them (and do beyond this select media intervention). Don't be a patsy to Big Media. Go about your day. What someone thinks about her pantry doesn't affect you.

“Storing spices in coordinated glass jars and color-coordinating dozens of sprinkles containers may seem trivial. But tidiness is tangled up with status, and messiness is loaded with assumptions about personal responsibility and respectability.
Cleanliness has historically been used as a cultural gatekeeping mechanism to reinforce status distinctions based on a vague understanding of ‘niceness’: nice people, with nice yards, in nice houses, make for nice neighborhoods.
What lies beneath the surface of this anti-messiness, pro-niceness stance is a history of classist, racist and sexist social structures.”

I beg to differ.  The people who are okay with spending ten minutes looking for the panch phoron are the ones who have too much time on their hands.

I definitely understand why you wouldn’t want any media attention covering your fellow woke lunatics.  I understand that you wish things were the way they were before, and they could teach at universities and colleges without anyone knowing the insanity that was taking place:  I totally get it.

Don't know where to put this.  But I just watched a black Liberal MPP from Ontario stand up and say during an announcement that the overrepresention of black and indigenous peoples in our criminal justice system is not due to them committing more crimes.

These are the lies wokeness has us telling ourselves, and prevents others from pointing out these false "facts" for fear of being cancelled and whatnot.  No doubt there's some racism in our criminal justice system, but poverty and education deficits have a lot more to do with overrepresentation.

I wouldn't say it's a lie, it's just not the whole truth. Yes, Black and Indigenous people commit more crimes, but they are also overpoliced, which leads to stuff like stop and frisk and a disproportionate number of drug possession arrests.

And what do you think are the reasons for those deficits?

A government official saying "the overrepresention of black and indigenous peoples in our criminal justice system is not due to them committing more crimes" is a lie.

The way you stated it is the truth.  Yes the commit more crimes, and yeah they're over-policed too.

Primarily it's poverty related issues.  Some of it is cultural due to a long history of poverty. Indigenous people and Black- majority nations don't have much of a history of education, so they don't emphasize it for their kids like ie. some Asian cultures, or Jewish culture.

It's like small town white people.  Poorly educated, lower incomes, different culture etc.  Quite a few of the small town town white people I've known are petty thieves/shoplifters.  They can't afford stuff so some of them steal it.

So the reason there are deficits in poverty and education are...poverty and education?

Here's another explanation:  most indigenous people live in the middle of nowhere, away from colleges, universities, and good schools and where the better educators live & teach, not to mention away from most industry and good jobs.  Not much different than rural or small town whites who live in the middle of nowhere and are uneducated and poor.

Blacks in Canada typically come from among the poorest and least educated countries in the world.  Black families also have a high single-parent rate and high rate of children out of wedlock and a high rate of teen pregnancy etc, essentially dooming the families to poverty and creating education gaps for their kids because they can't get the same homework help of kids in 2-parent families.

We shouldn't be surprised these groups have among the worst income, education, and crime outcomes?  Any data ever gleamed on crime is going to lead to the same risk factors.

There are factors like racial profiling and over-policing in the justice system that make these issues worse, but the fact that black and indigenous people commit higher than average rates of crime also feeds into these biases, and it becomes a feedback loop reinforcing each other.  We can and should try to lessen these profiling issues, but even cops and judges who were AI robots and perfectly fair will not solve the poverty/education gaps.
