I’ll start: I think his opinions are wrong and bad, and I sincerely doubt that the people that take issue with him do so explicitly because of what to place in 2017. This strikes me as a deliberate misdirect to enable his victimhood.
And to answer his question: “What do you want from me?”
Answer:
“Nothing. I want nothing at all from you. I want to stop hearing racist dogwhistle bullshit from big publications (even if the racist dog whistle bullshit is written by somebody that suffers from mental health issues.) My issue isn’t with you, it’s with the folks that pay you.
Will I go out of my way to undermine your career? No. I will probably not think of the Poor Abused Race Scientist ever again after today, but should I somehow come across your writings on the future, I’ll decline to read it. It’s kind of sad that you view this opinion as some sort of hate crime, but that’s not my problem.”
