Reply #13: You know what isn't a straw man argument? It's when I take Dean's precise [View All]

quotes and I address them. I'm not inventing some version of Dean. I'm holding Dean accountable for his actual words.

Dean says that civil rights are great, but what really matters is to end unconscious stereotyping.

How does he think that's going to happen? Well, he doesn't say. He seems to think that it's enought to tell allegories about anti-male discrimination.

Perhaps, governments that do their job and apply laws equally and take affirmative legal and administrative steps to address racial differences tend to create societies in which people tend not to have unconscious discriminatory feelings? And even if they don't do that directly, because it is the governments job to make and enforce laws, I'd be much happier if they'd focus on that end of the equation rather than on the unconscious feeling end of the equation.
