  • Sounds like an issue of joint correlation. It makes sense that homogenous communities are better at building unions. Building solidarity with people who are different from oneself is more work than with people who are similar.

    And it’s been found that exposure to different people and cultures reduces racist beliefs, so it also makes sense that homogenous communities would be more racist.

    So the causal feature would be homogeneity, and the correlation between racism and unions would be effects.


  • The easier case for this argument is terrorism. After it was established that terrorists were so awful that they didn’t deserve the normal legal and human rights, and that the government deserved huge budgets and exceptions to it’s normal restraints to get them, we now have any use of force that threatens the status quo being treated as terrorism.

    Same principal, but easier for those who get really stuck on the pedophile thing.
