This thread is excellent.

Reminds me of “all models are wrong, but some are useful, for which there is a whole Wikipedia page: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/All_models_are_wrong https://twitter.com/kareem_carr/status/1289724475609501697

Kareem has been attacked by @ConceptualJames as a woke ambassador for this, others speculating he’s only in academia because of affirmative action (), and other nonsense. https://twitter.com/kareem_carr/status/1289761402639380484

This kneejerk reaction strikes me as genuinely low-key racist.

As much as I hate how “racist” is thrown around in massive excess as a justification for not listening to people, there was nothing remotely “woke” or “anti-racist” about what he said.

And he’s obviously more intelligent than everyone who attacked him, so why is his skin color automatically brought into it? Disgusting.

And if you oppose the woke mob shutting everyone down without allowing long free discussion, why are forming an even more vicious anti-woke mob?
