Basically what you're saying is that you're against identity politics. I am happy to see other people with these values.

I live in Ground Zero of identity politics, so I don't get to see people with your opinions often.

Thank you!

Ideally we'd be able to distinguish between identity and ability. However, we're mostly not. A keywords off the top of my head is the halo effect, but there are a lot more. The question is, how do we deal with this imperfection?
