"Well, first of all, the reviewers that I 'insist on calling 'white' are all white. You haven't refuted that fact. How would you refer to them?"
I'm not refuting that fact, I'm refuting the following opinion you expressed: "Having the entire review staff be from the same culture limits the expression that is rewarded." In MY opinion, that is an offensive statement in that it exhibits revere racism.
"There's a valuable conversation to be had about the ways that culture and our lived experiences influence and limit our perspectives, and I'd be very happy to engage you in that conversation. But we can't do that if you're going to come into the space defensive and on the attack. "
In my perspective, your original post was an attack on the NY TIMES critics along racial lines. Also, I don't want to continue a discussion with anyone who has chosen to express anything less than total revulsion at the OP in this thread, so thanks for the offer, but I'm out. |
