I can think critically just fine despite not having literacy in hundreds of languages. If literacy were correlated to critical thinking skills the person with the most languages under their belt would be the best critical thinker.
So if the topic of the thread isn’t the thing that becomes racially charged, what is?
Yes, in fact, learning more languages is correlated to stronger critical thinking.
By the way, are you English as a second language? I’m curious because many of the things you’re “misunderstanding” actually seem like language barrier issues.
To your last question, as it turns out, I can’t decipher what the fuck you’re trying to say. It is nonsense. I’ve tried to translate it for you, but then I answer and suddenly your question shapeshifts and seems completely unrelated to what I thought you asked.
You said you finally understood what I was asking a reply or so back. It was in reference to my question about what becomes racially charged. I asked using a simple yes or no format and you said no, but now I’m asking in a more open ended way: What is the topic that “always become(s) racially charged despite that never being the real problem”?
Yes, I assumed I understood what you were trying to say. Unfortunately the logic of what you’re asking shifts the same way the direction of your goalposts do. And I’m certain it’s because you haven’t taken the time to read what I’ve said.
There is no specific topic. Racially charged topics are, and they always have been, a waste of fucking time. The second we moved past phrenology should have been the end of this notion that physical traits determines societal value. It doesn’t matter what your perspective is, race is a made up concept that shouldn’t define who you are.
It doesn’t matter if you think you’re proud as fuck to be white under the umbrella of “whiteness” or proud as fuck of being black under the umbrella of “blackness” or whatever other words you arbitrarily assign to this issue. If that pride leads to innocent people being hurt, you are always wrong.
The reason I’ve asked what topic you were talking about so many times is because you said
It’s not like I lived in a bubble, I just don’t like how conversations about this topic always become racially charged despite that never being the real problem.
I wanted to know because the topic of our conversation and the post were commenting under and the top comment we first started talking about are all things race is pertinent to. I didn’t want to assume that you had regressive, essentialist liberal ideas about race, so I asked.
Since you gave voice to your ideas about race: can you expound a little on how racially charged topics are a waste of time? We can’t change our history and remove the social construct of race from society and it has had material effects that anyone can see. Are those effects and their remuneration racially charged topics? If they aren’t, what is?

Debatelord nonsense. Waste of my time.
