Date: March 10th, 2005 2:01 PM Author: Razzmatazz wrinkle The offensiveness filter that doesn't exist yet? Or the on-topic filter that doesn't block racist/anti-Semitic posts?
I really think that this should be a high priority (see GTO's comments on my thread about the racist posts a few days ago). This board loses a lot of respectability because there are so many crazed racists and anti-Semites here, and because there's no way to filter it. |
|
Date: March 10th, 2005 2:03 PM Author: contagious bonkers jap gay wizard I meant that although the racist stuff exists "on topic," it is greatly reduced.
And I agree with the rest of your post. |
|
Date: March 10th, 2005 2:04 PM Author: Razzmatazz wrinkle No, it really isn't. I read the board exclusively in "on-topic" mode during the day, and it is chock-full of racism and anti-Semitism. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=147012&forum_id=2#2301333) |

Date: March 10th, 2005 2:21 PM Author: charcoal fragrant black woman death wish Yes, I read what he wrote. Even mentioning that the anti-semitism on this board is at the same level as the racism is absurd. To be sure, both appear too frequently, but racism dominates. I know he was not saying one is more common over the other, but I would contend that the racist threads are much worse here than the anti-semite threads.

The intensity of the racism on here has been pretty shocking, although I'm (almost) used to it now, which is good since I'm going to have to deal with a lot of assholes in this world and I can't constantly be thinking "Oh my goodness, what a terrible slur has been uttered!"

But there are a lot of people who, armed with facts about LSAT scores from Grutter, have developed opinions about the overall quality of minorities in their particular school. |

Date: March 10th, 2005 5:18 PM Author: Cracking carnelian base Yes, it's the classic over/under-inclusive problem that occurs in any generalization. What makes AA particularly galling is that a) there is no attempt made to mediate some of it's overinclusive properties and b) as you pointed out, it is not just somewhat underinclusive, it is hugely so.

Agree with the rest of your comments re: surprise at the level of racism/anti-semitism, makes me wonder what these people are like in real life. |

Which doesn't really mean a hill of beans in the context of impact on the board, but that's always been my take on pr/xoxo racism: racist language is something that still offends a large number of people who have otherwise been desensitized to content on the internet. My take is that it is just trolls putting out the easiest bait. (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=147012&forum_id=2#2303658) |

What started off as a conversation about anti-semitism and racism of the kike/nigger kind has devolved into a mindless discussion about AA. How stupid and myopic are you people?

Date: March 10th, 2005 7:56 PM Author: vermilion pit That's embarassing. At some point, there has to be something more than an on-topic filter to balance out the free for all environment here. I've grown to ignore most of the racist stuff here but that is only because I have developed thicker skin in general since coming here. I don't spend much time on this board these days, but when I do check in I always see racist posts about Indians, East Asians, Hispanics, Blacks etc. which hardly seem to raise an eyebrow, but the minute someone makes an anti-semitic remark there is a big huff it seems. I find this dynamic pretty interesting. I also read an article http://www.calbar.ca.gov/state/calbar/calbar_cbj.jsp?sCategoryPath=/Home/Attorney%20Resources/California%20Bar%20Journal/March2005&sCatHtmlPath=cbj/2005-03_TH_03_ABA-minorities.html&sCatHtmlTitle=Top%20Headlines which basically says minority attorneys continue to face serious obstacles to success in the legal profession. Maybe this board is just a microcosm of the environment/views that exist in the law profession itself? (http://www.autoadmit.com/thread.php?thread_id=147012&forum_id=2#2303350) |
