Aug 16, 2019 at 4:02 comment added jpmc26 I flagged g myself and agree it should be deleted for being as probelmatic as this answer. Moderators declined my flags, though, despite deleting several of the others based on my flags. I'm not clear on their reasons for declining; you'd have to post a seperate Meta question asking why. At least, though, that answer is heavily downvoted. This one is so heavily upvoted that it's the topped ranked answer, giving it an appearance of legitimacy that g does not have. In principle, that doesn't matter, of course, but it may affect how much effort we should spend trying to correct the situation.
Aug 16, 2019 at 4:01 comment added jpmc26 f has been edited some, but it does still have problems. Unlike the answer in question here, it does cite a relevant statistic, a relevant quote, a discrepency in arguments against the policy, and shares a personal experience that contributed to their view. I also fundamentally disagree that sharing a personal experience involving the mentally handicapped possibly being exploited represents an "ableist comment." Whatever its problems, it clearly attempts to mount some support. The answer here provides no evidence or logical argumentation for its assertions of purely irrational hatred.
Aug 16, 2019 at 3:53 comment added jpmc26 a and b have been deleted. I disagree with your evaluation of c. It says, "In short, there is a progressive view, which views everything through group identity, power, social outcomes, and feelings." While that might be overly simplistic and might be best reworded to better reflect the self perception of those who hold such views, it is a well known fact that there is a mindset which emphasizes those concepts over individualism and that the proponents of these views do actually define racism differently. It's also only the one sentence; only a minor edit is needed to address any problems.
