More Words, Deeper Hole

But that's not what he believes. He's stated several times that he believes racism and sexism are mere *forms* of classism, and that to focus on racism and sexism as forms of oppression is a pro-capitalist enterprise because it distracts people from the struggle against classism. And his attempts to disrupt discussions of racism and its effects seem quite deliberate in light of this. His latest round of White Liberal Bingo started when he objected to a post by vom_marlowe in which she clearly specified that class and race were *both* oppressions, but that they were not the same thing, and that racial oppression affects people across class lines. He has continued, most notably in his own LJ and in littlebutfierce, to ignore or misrepresent any evidence (anecdotal or scientific) to the effect that race *isn't* a subset of class. He has also fairly consistently defamed and misrepresented his debating opponents (my favorite one is the one where he decided we all were incapable of putting together a coherent argument because we got our ideas of class from TV. Will doesn't watch TV, except for Veronica Mars, which has something to say about class. He does not appear to have noticed it also has things to say about race and gender and they're not always the same things. Or maybe it's the one where he announced he'd learned that many "capitalist antiracists" want nothing more servants and leisure time.)
