What racial group would they fit under?

The Harvard incident was about racism, not PC-ness…(or maybe I’m misunderstanding what you mean here).

The politically correct thing to do in response to the Cabot incident, would be to do exactly what you have done, deny that it was racism in order to not offend those poor Cabot kids and not tarnish Harvard’s pristine reputation.

The un-pc thing to do would be to admit that everyone is at least a little racist, and whether it was subconscious or not, there were racial undertones in the email conversation and the calling of the police.

I never say that negative things don’t exist, just that you can’t apply theories and studies with total abandon and faith to individuals. It doesn’t work, and it is wrong. Theories and studies can be useful and helpful tools, but they become dangerous when misused.

And how have these studies been misused?
