    I don’t feel alienated by her comments and I’m not an abuser. I know the reality is she is basically right. Focussing on race, like the interviewer was trying to do, is not the area to focus if you care about the issue.

        What, that experts should be deferred to? Absolutely. I was never one who had “had enough of experts”.

        Let experts gather good data and make decisions based on it. Jess Philips is commenting on something that sadly sticks out in the data, far more than race, when the interviewer wants to try and talk about race.

          I think they both did their jobs very poorly, by attempting to make a nuanced issue that needs complex analysis by experts, into game of culture war top trumps.

          I don’t think what is the most relevant between race and gender is something the general public can decide, leave that to the policy analysts, sociologist, and criminologists.

          But I also don’t think it’s possible to get you to agree with my point of view on this one.
