[QUOTE="Cadence, post: 8022968, member: 6701124"] I can go dig through the two threads-that-are-now-disposed-of, but iirc, others provided direct quotes from the racist literature of the early 1900s and lined it up almost word-for-word with the descriptions of the evil humanoids in the literature. The two-blog videos make a similar line-up the portrayals. If the line-up of quotes is there, it doesn't seem to me that "see[ing] the linkage" is the issue. It's either "seeing the linkage as being that strong" or "seeing the linkage as a problem". Anyway... If, as you are, everyone was great with taking time to address things, even when they personally didn't see it as such a big deal -- well, it feels like that would fix a crapton of things in the real world!!! Thank you. I think the frustration expressed by some of the "linkage folks" here is at those who find the need to take every chance to attack the legitimacy of some people feeling excluded - by adding doubts, disclaimers, what-abouts, and slippery slopes to answers where it isn't even relevant to the question at hand. For example, to say the proposed change people are asking are fine, but then add that they don't fix anything and to liken it other issues - feels like it is doing what I think you are saying bad because it is trying to illegitimize the concerns of those who see a linkage. At some point, it feels like it's starting to add to the problem. [/QUOTE]
