The Tolerant Left

White liberals present themselves as less competent when addressing minorities, while conservatives use the same vocabulary no matter what the race of their audience, according to a newly released study.

 

Yale and Princeton researchers found that both white Democratic presidential candidates and self-identified liberals played down their competence when speaking to minorities, using fewer words that conveyed accomplishment and more words that expressed warmth.

Of course they do.

    1. A unKanadian, could you not wait for the unDork to post with full stupid, you had to steal it’s trophy?. Libtards are like you, treat minorities as less (like teenagers) competent.

      It makes me laff that some one needed to do a study to find out!!!

      1. RTFA. The study was done by “Cydney Dupree, assistant professor of organizational behavior at Yale”. A by-definition liberal academic who was “surprised” at the findings.

        Now she’s probably a Conservative. She is definitely being treated like one by all the other Yale faculty. I expect that conversations have cooled to arctic frigidity in the staff lounge.

  1. I keep saying this, and as time goes by I keep being proven right: Liberals are hateful lying a-holes.

    Liberals hate women. They hate minorities. They hate Mooselimbs, gays, trans, blacks, browns, Italians, Jews, you name it they hate it. They even hate each other. But most of all they hate successful white men, the dudes that get all the chicks and all the money. That’s who they hate the most.

    Trump being like the Platonic Ideal of a Type-A alpha dog Capitalist with his towers and his gold toilets and his hair and his FABULOUS women… he’s killing their brains with hatred. They can’t even think anymore, they hate him so bad. All they can do is scream.

    But they are also -liars-. So they pretend to love and support people they actually despise, and use that to attack the the thing they hate the most. White Christians.

  2. The soft tyranny of low expectations.

    It’s already been casually observed. I didn’t need an “academic” Yale study to confirm what is so blatantly obvious. Have you ever heard HER speak to minority audiences with a pocketbook loaded with hot sauce? Uh, yeah … patronizing. To my ear, it’s far worse than some 1940’s Deep Southerner calling a black man, “boy”. Leftists cannot help but f-e-e-l themselves to be “superior”. Hint: they’re NOT.

  3. Thomas Sowell has been saying this for a long time. White liberals see themselves as superior to everyone. If you are in an fashionable, approved group then they merely talk down to you like you’re an idiot child who needs to be taken protected (POC, women, LGBT, Muslim ) If they dislike you, they treat you like untouchables (Conservative, libertarian, working class, Xtian, rural).

    The left is a caste based social system with VIP white liberals firmly entrenched at the top, tribal factions of intersectional victim groups fighting it out to become second tier, and everyone else relegated to the Dalit class. The white liberal VIP, being fickle creatures, easily discards former allies and replace them with a newer, hipper groups. The working class yesterday and today lesbian “TERFs” – both identity group are no longer useful so they slide into the untouchable class.

  4. This attitude of intellectual superiority and assuming others aren’t as competent also explains the dumbing down of the education system. From elementary school to university, there is a snobbish, even patriarchal attitude that “those people” couldn’t possibly learn and understand the same concepts we did so it’s unfair to keep such high educational standards.

  5. John Kerry asking for a hunting license, ” Can I get me a hunt’n license har?”

    Hillary was down south and did some southron corn poke, “I gone too fer-arr, to git w’re I frum…”

    Libs talk down to everbody. Harvard/Yale + halfwit Marxism + good money, rent seeking, no heavy lifting.

  6. I student taught at a small town in southwest Ontario. The school had two black kids, brother and sister. Watching the white kids act cool to relate to them was kind of embarrassing, but they meant well, and they had no previous experience. Kind of pathetic to see that grown up liberals – a contradiction?- aren’t any better at it.

    1. You beat me to it, but I was going to mention that Obama talks ‘black’ talk when speaking to a largely black audience.

      1. Is that when the “H’s” suddenly come into words. Like “shtrong”. WTF is that all about, ebonics?

      2. What dialect causes Obama to hisssssss like a snake in emphasizing and drawing out every word that ends in s sssssssss

  7. I take exception to the single quotes on the NYT headline.
    in my lexicon, single quotes on a word mock the word ie meaning ‘as if’.
    this sure as shyt aint no ‘as if’ patronizing, no, *its the real deal there libs*

    see the subtlety there?

    1. Your point is well taken hb, however, the headline is from the Washington Times not the New York Times. If their intent was to use “scare quotes” they would have used double quotation marks. Accepted Associated Press style is to use single quotation marks in a headline when it contains a quotation. In this case, the word “patronize” in the headline is taken from a quotation of the study’s abstract in the story.

  8. Liberals are “down” with the little brown people, cheese eating grins and a promise to tip ya the next time.

    I gag whenever I see a Liberal step out of their pompous character to take the extra time to gush over some “little ethnic” stranger in public places.

  9. Fear and hate are travelling companions.
    Our progressive comrades are always failing their own standards as human being. As a consequence other people enjoying living drive them into a frenzy.
    That desperate need to denigrate,demean and dismiss are their standard defence mechanisms.
    Being useless and clueless they hunger for credentials,accreditation and certification and totally blow their cool when they are marked according to their actual skill.
    Thanks to these inferior creatures even the trades are now full of incompetence.
    Liberalism is a truly progressive disease, banishment from civil society is the only cure known to prevent civil collapse…
    Lying,backstabbing and brown nosing is the Way of the Liberal.
