Re: In today's news...
There IS deep racial bias in US, because apparently minorities and white people themselves both start resenting white people as soon as they finish with their sociology major, just like how people suddenly realize how sexist the world is once they've finished gender studies. The same way creationists realize the earth is flat once they're done with their christian history/geology course.
Sociology, even without considering all the objectively wrong SJW and politically correct CRAP that comes out that is blatantly and obviously wrong even to the uneducated, STILL has a dark history prior to that of being labeled as pseudo-science for not being held up to even close to the same standard of empiricism and accuracy as any and every other form of study; probably due to how overwhelmingly complicated it can seem at one moment, and how ridiculously simple it can be the next.
Freud is a good example of this, he is renowned for having allegedly made great steps in the name of psychology, which in a way he did(As a subject). But if you analyze his career all he pretty much did was project his own fantasies and neurosis onto his patients and brow-beat them until he got the results he wanted. Sociology got out of that for awhile and became more respectable, but recently the peer review system has been getting the figurative equivalent of gangraped due to the insane amount of radicalized social studies professors, and extremist activists with insane backward views poisoning the water of public opinion in the absolute worst place possible, the educational system.
Honestly, we've got a lot of freuds on our hands now, fucking thousands of them. They got a rudimentary education on a subject they certainly don't entirely understand from a person who is much the same, and they immediately think they've come to grasp the world's problems even though they can't point them out in any way that is genuinely informative or helpful. Think I'm wrong? Go ahead, point out a thing in the law that is racist, point out a thing a public official has done that is racist that hasn't gotten them figuratively lynched by society.
Oh, and before you mention police brutality, keep in mind that the police force is filled with people who deal with crime, corruption, violence, and negativity literally all day for most of their life. Now, one might say that's not an excuse to commit crime, absolutely correct; But if you don't suffer from PTSD or have a family member who has, then you probably haven't been treating the police with fair expectations. Violence both mental and physical is a corrupting force, and when you live through with that every day it's hard not to turn to violence. In this respect, ironically, the black and police communities suffer a similar problem. The way that groups like BLM, or college activists in general act, is literally the opposite of helpful. Further more, some of the democratic government policies to try and fix the situation are and have been.... The opposite of helpful. Oh look, removing all onus of responsibility from a community turns them violent and criminal, who knew! It's almost like meal tickets you can use to buy liquor and unconditional child support for abusive and objectively shit parents that nobody will put through the system was a bad idea, kind of like putting a hello-kitty band-aid on a rebar shrapnel wound that has been infected for days.
You know, if you want to believe that 1st world countries have a serious race oppression problem, how about you go to literally any 3rd world country and flaunt your religious or cultural independence in a low or middle income area, see how you long you keep your hands attached to your body.
