Now Good Grammar is Racist

Summary:
Bravo, regressive left.[embedded content]It doesn’t matter of course that many people who are not white like good English grammar, or indeed that in many non-Western languages spoken all over the world good grammar and good standards of expression are supported by non-White people.Of course, it would be but a short step from this dubious illogic to say that scientific truths – such as, say, the germ theory of disease? – are viciously racist and just a big conspiracy to oppressive the Third World by evil Western white male science.Oh, wait, the lunatic Postmodernist scam artists already did this years ago, and just look at glorious results here and here.Another of the constant memes of the regressive left, derived as it is from Postmodernism, is that we in the West live in a totally institutionally racist society characterised by the shocking evil of white privilege everywhere. On closer inspection, however, we quickly find that most of the arguments for this idea are couched in meaningless Postmodernist jargon and – despite the existence of some limited real racism here and there – the evidence for it is feeble at best.Maybe I am missing something, but check out the evil white privilege right here.

Bravo, regressive left.

It doesn’t matter of course that many people who are not white like good English grammar, or indeed that in many non-Western languages spoken all over the world good grammar and good standards of expression are supported by non-White people.

Of course, it would be but a short step from this dubious illogic to say that scientific truths – such as, say, the germ theory of disease? – are viciously racist and just a big conspiracy to oppressive the Third World by evil Western white male science.

Oh, wait, the lunatic Postmodernist scam artists already did this years ago, and just look at glorious results here and here.

Another of the constant memes of the regressive left, derived as it is from Postmodernism, is that we in the West live in a totally institutionally racist society characterised by the shocking evil of white privilege everywhere. On closer inspection, however, we quickly find that most of the arguments for this idea are couched in meaningless Postmodernist jargon and – despite the existence of some limited real racism here and there – the evidence for it is feeble at best.

Maybe I am missing something, but check out the evil white privilege right here.

Lord Keynes
Realist Left social democrat, left wing, blogger, Post Keynesian in economics, but against the regressive left, against Postmodernism, against Marxism
