I totally understand, and maybe I shouldn't have included that, but I do see phrases like "It's unpopular to talk about" get used as dog whistles all the time in other forums (and in real life). There's a whole subculture dedicated to dressing up racism in pseudo-scientific language (race realism etc.)

At the end of the day, there's enough real, vile bigotry out there in our society, I think it's important to be extra clear when discussing topics like this.

I'm glad you did. It's a great example of the problem we are discussing.

I agree, there is are many negative biases in the real world. More so, I'd argue, on the internet, where people feel safer at a distance to state disagreeable opinions.

It's worth noting, especially when we are discussing the nature of how an AI learns.
