I’ve noticed your average person making that claim seems to be a career academic from somewhere like rural Canada or Nebraska. I think there’s a heavy dose of wishful thinking. Something as simple as the sociology of much of the American prison system shows a practical example of it not holding up in a major social experiment. No word yet on if actual exposure to “racist extremists” helps them better understand anything about us.
