Mead is basically arguing that White people have more self-control than Black and Brown people. Think about Mead's racist ideas the next time you witness an out-of-control Trump or White cop or White terrorist or White Congressman or White anti-masker. 1/3
Think about Mead's own racist idea the next time you read this White man’s out-of-control ideas. Mead can’t help it. He can’t help presenting theories with faulty "cultural" history and without empirical data. He can’t help denigrating Black and Brown people. 2/3
It is important to note: There are individuals who happen to be White and Brown and Black who exhibit high or low levels of self-control. No racial group exhibits more or less self-control. Mead is conflating culture and behavior. There is no such thing as racial behavior. 3/3
