If Books Could Kill

NOTE

Disparities and Discrimination Beliefs

The speaker highlights the misconception that woke liberals believe any demographic disparities indicate discrimination, noting that this argument is common among conservatives but not held by serious leftists. The speaker points out the irony in the conservative belief that disparities are caused by inherent group nature, contrasting it with the straw man argument created by the author. Additionally, the speaker criticizes the author's position of justifying all disparities, drawing parallels to another individual's definition of 'woke' with a tripartite structure.
