Racist Ronald Reagan called Africans "monkeys" in taped call with Nixon

Given that we’ve observed you refusing to acknowledge other people’s lived experiences as valid over your own internet citations, fail to acknowledge why your “academic tone” (your words) of outsider judgement might be considered offensive when contradicting those experiences and you are judging others to be emotional, while pretendingthat you are being logical:

I think they have a point. You are checking all the boxes for condescension (and disingenuous if not sexist behavior): you have ignored or dismissed (not just in this topic, either) multiple women who have cited to you their actual expertise on the topic, in favor of your own opinions. You’ve claimed your opponents are just been “emotional” and you are bring logical and removed about the whole thing (which, incidentally, is easy when it doesn’t affect you – when it’s not your culture being misrepresented, not your research and expertise being dismissed by a guy using Wikipedia and quote repositories as their definitive sources). It’s not just your tone that has been condescending, it’s your behaviour.

If you want to flag this, you are free to, but you asked why multiple other posters found you to be patronizing. I am telling you why I do.
