So making simplistic assumptions based on a childish need for absolutes i.e. the people are just stupid, is somehow better than looking into all the possible reasons for a bad result and ruling them out?


Huh.

I can grasp the point made, but what of the opposite? What if their department was all white, how does that get corrected? I see opposition to quotas, etc... so how does it get corrected?

There has to be an institutionalised failing (this is hypothetical, not the actual conditions in New Haven), so is the right solution doing nothing?


Ok, this is the case and the merits she based her decision on.

Would be debatable only if you're equating 'stupid' with intellectual laziness.


Only one of these can be overcome if diminished mental capacity is involved.

Which doesn't change the point that recognizing the test might be faulty is not "blaming everything on everyone else."

I don't think it's an absolute, no, since all one person did was point out another possible explanation.


The thing is, if all your conclusions about liberals are jumped to so immediately, it's hard not to wonder at the ease of generalization.
