Here are just some terms that need to be clarified before the debate:
“Affirmative action” programs are the programs in which colleges and companies admit or hire people for their race, sex, or sexual orientation, and the identity of the candidate is placed in higher priority than qualifications.
“Critical Race Theory,” or CRT is the philosophy that white people are inherently advantaged and that American society is rooted in systemic racism (white privilege). A common CRT theory is that white people should pay African-Americans reparations for slavery and segregation.
“DEI” stands for Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion. DEI is the core philosophy that encompasses affirmative action, critical race theory, and other supposedly “progressive” and “inclusive” policies associated with the modern Democratic Party.
Good point. Thanks for the advice. I’ll try harder next time to put better definitions.
I think I was pretty clear, but a couple pieces were a little implicit, so…
1. I’m one of the most active voters.
2. I consider the definitions in the description to be a type of Scarecrow Argument (but there are other fallacies it could soundly be called), rather than valid definitions from any authority.
3. Because the description is so ingenuine, I will not dogmatically obey it in my vote.
You will still likely win. However, if your argument consists of pointing to the fallacies you put into the description instead of offering sound reasoning, your case will be crippled by it.
Looking forward to the debate. The definitions are a tad biased, and I don't entirely accept their accuracy, but I will cover that within the debate.
What?
As a voter, I will not be obeying the Scarecrow Arguments (aka strawman) in the description.
