Status Updates From Culture and Equality: An Eg...

"blacks" "females" "g*psies"

whyyyyyyy are all his arguments focused on minorities whyyyyy (example: "revisionist history" regarding the role of black slavers in the us slave trade to "spare the feelings of black children", which he criticises. mainstream revisionist history considering the us is. not exactly mentioned)

rather than "bilingual education inn the us doesn't work well so we should maybe look into why that is and improve it" this guy really hits you with "bilingual education in the us doesn't work well so it's bullshit" and expects you to believe him. can't make this shit up really

this guy is so focused on anglophone countries it is so very embarrassing. i would be embarrassed if i were him

i would feel bad about criticising him in a not very objective way but his entire book is him talking in a not very objective way so here we go: this guy seems like a massive ass

i dislike this book so much....

why are his only examples of illiberal communities religious minorities... why does he never mention how christianity for example might also be illiberal..... i think that's what's making it so hard for me to agree with him, his arguments are fair enough but since he only uses minorities as the "bad examples" it just feels like prejudice in a fancy academic trenchcoat

bro can you PLEASE stop calling Black people "blacks"

this guy is so annoying god bless

the most frustrating thing about this is that the arguments aren't even like. false. this guy just goes about presenting them in the most assholeish way ever

bro how are you going to compare turban wearing sikhs not needing to wear a helmet on a motorcycle (in the context of laws prescribing a helmet affecting different populations differently, and sikhs getting "out of adhering to it") to how there's laws against rape and pedophilia even though those affect pedophiles and rapists more strongly than those who would not want to engage in that anyway. bro what the fuck

saw another reviewer say that the consensus in class was that barry is an asshole and i definitely see why

someone annotated the uni library course book and it's making it very annoying to read :(((
