And we're done here.  

Hmm. After the first round of "unpalatable evidence."  Second time in three days.

Sure. ok. Just thought we were on the same page, given your previous statements.

Here's the thing.  Not only do I deal with this issue professionally, but a close friend was affected by it as well.  I actually have skin in the game here.  Beyond the fact that I don't want anyone attacked, hurt or belittled because of their ethnicity, sexual orientation, etc. I want to actually address the problem, not veil it in code words and obfuscation.  You'll eat it up because you're desperate to be seen as on the side of what's "right".  The problem is you're so desperate in this regard you don't take even a second to analyze whether what's being advanced is even accurate.  

I.e., I thought we were taking a second to analyze whether what Lee and Huang advanced was "accurate," as opposed to just projecting angry assumptions onto someone else's writing.  Truth rather than "truthiness" (i.e. what "feels" true given already strongly held beliefs).

For me, that analysis has to involve a bit of research, which includes checking your claims about "historical revision" against what Lee and Huang actually say about Korean-Black relations.  Where I come from, such checking is routine for anyone who wants to "actually address the problem, not veil it in code words and obfuscation."

If you insist that Lee and Huang's article was "all about white supremacy" (substituting your words for hers) and "historical revision," then bolt once we start looking closely at your terms and what she actually says, why shouldn't anyone suspect that YOU are really the one veiling the issue in "code words and obfuscation"?
