List,
What nonsense is Prof. Sanderson talking about? The discussion on race? I
found the suggestion that a rigorous refutation of racist assumptions
(particular by someone who holds such assumptions) reduces to merely the
elevated hormones of the participants to be insulting (although I
understand that biologisms flow easily from people who assume as material
fact the existence of biologically-based racial types).
Such dismissive rhetoric strikes me as an attempt to skirt tough issues
that have been raised on WSN.
Sincerely,
Andrew Austin
