    It does when those points have already been shown to be wrong and yet she still repeats them. She gets money from oil companies - she is clearly been bought and this is why she retired from academia - so she can make money spewing those talking points without having to run into trouble. She's using her past credibility to be able to spread false statements and make them seem credible. She is criticized for making assertions about uncertainty that don't even fit the standards of statistics 101.

    The map is ridiculous. Travis County is arguably the most liberal county in the state.

    you miss the point of the map, it is not about "liberal" counties versus "conservative" counties . . . it's about political intolerance and prejudice generally.

    If you read the article you'll see there are two more maps, one for Democratic prejudice against Republicans, and another for Republican prejudice against Democrats.

    Ah, my apologies. All becomes clear! :cool:
    And I won't argue with the designation, thank goodness.

    I suppose that’s why conservatives are all for DEI because they are so tolerant and empathetic.

    Why? Is this far fetched in Libtard society? By Libtard, i do not mean to cast aspersions except ai those liberals who have completely closed their minds to real life thus becoming intellectually r****ded by choice. I honestly believe most of those Libtards now call Fascist would be 18th century Liberals ideologically. And I say this on a scale from Individual Liberty on one extreme to Absolute Tyranny on the other. While wearing different masks, there is no difference between Communists, Fascists and Dictators on that scale.

    This is a core difference. Equality of Opportunity is incompatible with DEI and totally compatible with Tyranny. DEI is Equity driven which demands results before Equality is even given a chance. It just changes the targets of discrimination rather than eliminating it.

    You're confusing equality of opportunity with equality of outcomes.

    DEI isn't about guaranteeing the same results for everyone—it's about addressing the barriers that prevent people from having an equal chance at success in the first place. Without equity, opportunity isn't really equal for everyone.

    That is EXACTLY what DEI is about. They call it EQUITY rather than EQUALITY working on the assumption anything short of the desired result involves some inequality rather than differences in interest and abilities.

    IF it were only about addressing REAL inequality rather than promoting an ism victimhood, there would be little disagreement.

    If you need a tall guy. there is a job related bias toward tall guys and the groups that have a disproportionate number of tall guys. This is all we are saying. In other words, don't put a 5'2 SS cover detail person on a 6'4" assignment, even if the requirements of the job will skew the candidates away from groups who can't do the particular job.

    Yep conservatives are so tolerant they’re spamming the internet with claims about Haitians eating pets and that migrants are going to kill you when you go buy bacon.

    Your welcome. But that is not a denial. Murder mills are very liberating for the mom, but it doesn't work very well for the babies..

    No such thing as racism, just perception/prejudice. You see a dude all tatted up, you'll feel different than when you see a guy in a suit regardless of race/ethnicity.

    Fellas walk around in suits.
